• ADC flags off Rally, Calls for collective responsibility towards cleanliness

BHADERWAH: A “Swachhata Sankalp” campaign was organised today in Bhaderwah under the aegis of the Directorate of Urban Local Bodies, Jammu, with the objective of strengthening awareness about cleanliness, sanitation, responsible waste management and environmental protection among the community.

The programme was graced by Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Sunil Kumar Bhutyal, who flagged off the Swachhata Sankalp Rally in the presence of Executive Officer (EO) Ravi Saini, Principal, Boys Higher Secondary School Dr. Kailash Kumar, besides other officials, students and members of the local community.

The campaign witnessed enthusiastic participation in a series of activities, including a cleanliness drive, awareness programme, cleanliness pledge and rally. Students, officials and locals actively participated in the rally and spread the message of cleanliness, hygiene and responsible waste disposal across the town.

The dignitaries emphasised that cleanliness must be adopted as a continuous community responsibility rather than being confined to a one-day campaign. They stressed the need for proper waste disposal, protection of public spaces, environmental conservation and active participation of citizens in maintaining a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.

The organisers called upon citizens, particularly students and youth, to become ambassadors of cleanliness and encourage their families and communities to adopt good sanitation practices and contribute towards building a cleaner and greener Bhaderwah.
