Will Mangalore be a Clean City After Three Awareness Programmes in A Month?

Daijiworld Media Network—Mangalore (PS/CN)
 
Mangalore, Feb 26: There is a reason behind this optimistic question. There were in all three clean city awareness programmes in the city in February. If those who were present at these programmes join hands, the city will shine. All the awareness programmes stressed the ‘clean city’ theme. A good number of people participated in these events which also leads to the above question.

Sri Ravishankar Stresses Need for Clean City:

Founder of Art of Living Sri Ravishankar brought up a plan for a cleaner Mangalore. At the ‘Mangala Sandhya’ programme held at Mangala stadium he had launched ‘Swachcha Mangalore’ (Clean Mangalore) programme and had  called upon his large number of followers in this coastal city to dedicate at least a couple of hours.

DC’s Interest:

With a similar purpose, under the guidance of DC Subodh Yadav, the district administration had organized a half marathon to promote a clean, green, progressive Mangalore. Indian track queens P T Usha, Vandana Rao, and Reeth Abraham lent their charm and vivacity to this maiden event sponsored by Vijaya Bank.

Prophets Sweep for a Cause:

Another event that occurred was initiated by Talent Research Foundation members who went about cleaning the vicinity of service bus stand near State Bank on February 6 and 13 as part of the drive. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gave the message on cleanliness and the theme was highlighted through banners on the occasion. TRF had earlier held a similar cleanliness drive at the old bus stand area of the city. They poured water on the road, threw bleaching powder and cleaned the city with their best effort.

If those who raised their voice to shout clean city slogans in these three awareness programmes join hands, then Mangalore will definitely be a clean city.
