• Shamsher, Yudhvir Sethi launch special drive

JAMMU: Continuing with the efforts to sensitize citizens about cleanliness under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Jammu Municipal Corporation in collaboration with Apsara Road Traders Association organised a special campaign in Apsara Road and adjoining areas of Gandhi Nagar, here today. Member Rajya Sabha Shamsher Singh Manhas and senior leader Yudhvir Sethi launched the campaign.

While addressing the gathering, Shamsher said the mission can only become a success if all stake holders get involved and a joint effort is made by all towards the mission. He said the mission has been flagged off by the Prime Minister and all over the country people have joined hands to fulfil the dream of Mahatma Gandhi for Swachh Bharat.

He said the current campaign under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan would culminate on Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday and the mission aims to accomplish the vision of ‘Clean India’ by 2nd October 2019.

Speaking on the occasion, Yudhvir Sethi called upon the people to participate in the mission launched by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure clean surroundings. He said clean environment not only promotes good health but clean commercial areas also become hub of commercial activities, adding that tourism would get fillip in a cleaner city.

“We must join hands towards making our cities, mohallas, bazaars and streets clean and we the residents of the city of temples should pledge to make the city more clean and green,” he added. He lauded the efforts of JMC for organising the Abhiyan in different parts of the city and enjoined upon the citizens to be part of the biggest ever cleanliness drive in the country.
