The oath was administered by Chanchalguda Central Prison Superintendent B Saidaiah on the orders of DG (Prisons & Correctional Services) VK Singh.
“I will start the cleanliness drive from myself, my family, my neighbourhood and my workplace.

I will try that those 100 also work towards hygiene and sanitation,” the oath read.
