Responding to a call by the Union Jal Shakti Ministry, the Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat is gearing up to launch a 15-day cleaning drive at the gram panchayat level on Friday so as it will culminate on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on October 2, which will be celebrated this year as Swachh Bharat Day.
In a media note, Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Panchayat Bhanwar Singh Meena said on Thursday that the special drive will be taken up with a tagline, Cleanliness is Divinity, and the central theme for this year’s special cleanliness drive will be Garbage-free India.
“The ambitious campaign aims at creating cleaner and hygienic neighbourhood in rural India. I appeal to the people to voluntarily join hands with the authorities in cleaning the premises of public spaces, especially those which are always crowded, such as bus stands, railway stations, community halls, historical monuments, roads and drains,” Mr. Meena said.
