The KIOCL personnel and their family members took part in the cleaning activity held near Kuloor bridge, Mangala Circle, and on Tannirbhavi Road in Mangaluru. The participants cleared bushes, which were blocking the vision of the motorists crossing National Highway 66.
Inaugurating the cleaning programme, KIOCL chairman-cum-managing director T. Saminathan said the KIOCL had been regularly holding the cleaning programme since 2014. In the last one month, KIOCL’s Swachh Bharath Abhiyan Committee constructed toilets, distributed hygienic kits, and carried out cleaning activities on the KIOCL premises, KIOCL township, and surrounding areas. The company was working to realise the dream of Mahatma Gandhi to free the country of waste, he said.
Personnel of Airport Security Group of CISF, students of Sri Niranjana Swami Polytechnic and others took part in the cleaning activity held at Bajpe bus stand, Bajpe vegetable market, and near Adyapady school. The CISF officials led by senior commandant and Chief Airport Security Officer V.M. Joshi interacted with panchayat personnel and local residents to emphasise maintaining the area clean and not to dumping waste haphazardly.
More than 700 people took part in the cleaning activity held by the Indian Coast Guard Headquarters (Karnataka) at Panambur and Tannirbhavi beaches. Members of the Lions Club, Mangaluru, and students from a few government schools and private colleges took part in the activity. Apart from removing litter, plastic waste, and other debris, the participants were involved in tree planting exercise at the two beaches.
