Clean sweep in civil aviation

Talking of its 100-day achievements, the ministry of civil aviation chose the widest possible interpretation of the term. In a presentation, several slides were occupied by details on a clean-up drive. "A total of 12,977 files were reviewed post which 3,839 files have been recorded and 9,146 files have been weeded out," the presentation stated. Continuing on the same lines, another slide said, in a special cleaning initiative, the ministry also removed 250 cupboards to clear cupboards from the corridors of the ministry. "More than 15 trucks of malba/junk material has (sic) been removed as part of the cleaning drive."
