Aiming to promote clean and eco-friendly practices for the well-being of its city, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has successfully distributed containers for the collection of segregated waste at worship places as part of the ongoing Swachh Teerath Campaign. This initiative seeks to enhance cleanliness and sustainability at these sacred places by introducing specialised waste collection containers.
The primary focus of this endeavour is the collection of floral waste and various items such as chunnaris, frames, and idols, which will be recycled to create incense sticks, cones, and other useful materials. The respectful handling of deity clothes collected in Visar is also prioritised, ensuring the upholding of religious sentiments.
Anindita Mitra, IAS, Commissioner of MC Chandigarh, stated that the Corporation is fully dedicated to collaborating with the community for a cleaner and sustainable environment. Through the Swachh Teerath Campaign, the MCC aims to encourage responsible waste management and promote material recycling, benefiting both the environment and the local community.
The MCC remains resolute in its commitment to cleanliness, sustainability, and the overall well-being of the community. The ongoing deep cleansing drive at worship places across the city includes activities such as sweeping, washing, repairing, litter picking, cleaning dustbins, and collecting floral waste. These efforts further exemplify the MCC’s unwavering dedication to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in public spaces.
The campaign will continue until January 22, coinciding with the Pran Pratishtha Ceremony at Ram Janmabhoomi. The MCC encourages active participation from all individuals in their collective efforts to make sacred places cleaner, greener, and more environmentally friendly.
