Bengaluru: As part of the Swachh Bharat Mission Urban 2.0 initiative, the Bengaluru Central City Corporation organized community street plays at three locations to spread awareness on cleanliness, waste segregation, plastic reduction, and water conservation.
Commissioner Urges Public Participation
After attending the programme at Church Street, commissioner Rajendra Cholan urged citizens, non-governmental organizations, corporate bodies, and apartment welfare associations to collaborate with the civic body. He emphasized that collective efforts are essential to transform Bengaluru into a clean, beautiful, and healthy city.
Key Focus Areas of the Campaign
The awareness campaign highlighted the importance of protecting water bodies, proper waste segregation and disposal, banning single-use plastic, encouraging recycling, and maintaining cleanliness in public places. Officials also flagged the issue of garbage dumping 'black spots,' which damage the city’s appearance and pose sanitation concerns. They stressed that public participation is crucial to preventing these issues.
Locations and Public Pledge
Street plays were held near Lalbagh West Gate, Indiranagar’s KFC bus stop, and Church Street. Citizens and officials also took a pledge to support cleanliness and better waste management across the city. The initiative aims to foster a sense of responsibility among residents and ensure a sustainable urban environment.
