Dhanbad: Under the nationwide 'Swachhata Hi Seva' program, a large-scale 'One Hour Shramdaan' (voluntary labor) event was organized in the district today. Honorable MP Shri Dhulu Mahato, Municipal Commissioner Shri Ashish Gangwar, public representatives, mukhias of various panchayats, and local citizens participated enthusiastically. During the event, administrative officials and public representatives worked shoulder to shoulder with common citizens. Under the campaign, major temples, river and pond ghats, cremation grounds, and other public premises in urban and rural areas were cleaned. Prompt disposal of the collected garbage was also ensured by the municipal corporation and local administration.
Speaking on the occasion, the Municipal Commissioner said that cleanliness is not just a one-day formal event, but a continuous lifestyle and social value. Until every citizen is aware of keeping their surrounding environment clean, the resolve of a clean India cannot be fulfilled. He stated that the main objective of the program was to strengthen public participation and develop a sense of collective responsibility towards cleanliness in society. At the end of the campaign, all participants took a pledge to keep their neighborhoods, villages, and city clean and plastic-free.
