MC organizes plogging drive to promote cleanliness
The 10-day long drive was launched by municipal commissioner Amit Kumar, alongside senior deputy mayor and area municipal councillor Jasbir Singh Bunty. Joint municipal commissioner Himanshu Gupta and office bearers of the local residents' welfare association were also present on this occasion.
Around 200 schoolchildren participated in the plogging drive, collecting litter from in and around the lake and its adjoining areas.
Prior to the activity, participants took a 'Swachhata Pledge', reinforcing their commitment to a cleaner, greener India. The event was meticulously planned as a zero-waste initiative, with all collected waste responsibly transported by MCC garbage picker vehicles.
The municipal commissioner praised the young participants, calling them 'Swachh Yuva Doot' and 'agents of change', emphasising the power of collective small steps in bringing about transformative change. "Community-driven efforts like these are essential in shaping a sustainable and clean city." He urged all citizens to actively take part in cleanliness drives within their neighbourhoods.
He said the initiative not only aimed at cleaning the area, but also instilled a sense of environmental awareness and civic responsibility among youth and residents.
