Airports across the country will soon witness a visible difference on the cleanliness front, Union Civil Aviation Secretary V Somasundaran today said.

Briefing reporters after administering the 'Swachh Bharat' pledge at Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan here, Somasundaran said stress on cleanliness has been laid on places frequented by the public in airports.

"We have drawn up a programme to keep all the airports clean, especially, toilets and other places frequented by the public. So, you will see a visible difference within a short time... in the next one month," he said while replying to a question on complaints regarding the upkeep of airports in the country.

Mentioning that an intensified cleanliness drive is being carried out at 17 airports for about a week, he said the remaining airports will join the mission today.
