Swachh Survekshan drive carried out at Vidyaranyapura in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: A comprehensive cleaning drive was carried out at the NTI Layout in Vidyaranyapura under the Greater Bangalore Authority (North) as part of the cleanliness mission, Swachh Survekshan.

The initiative aligns with the broader objectives of Swachh Bharath Mission, which aims to promote sanitation, waste management, and public awareness on cleanliness across the country.

The drive involved coordinated efforts from the NTI Residents Welfare Association, GBA authorities, sanitation workers, and local residents.

The cleaning activities also focused on eliminating garbage-vulnerable points and improving the overall hygiene of the locality.

Pourakarmikas and solid waste management teams conducted intensive cleaning operations across streets, footpaths, open spaces, and drainage areas within the NTI Layout.

Accumulated garbage, plastic waste, silt, and dry leaves were collected

and transported for proper disposal. The cleaning activities also focused on eliminating garbage-vulnerable points and improving the overall hygiene of the locality.

Special attention was given to clearing roadside waste, sweeping internal roads, and removing litter from vacant sites and public spaces.

The sanitation staff also undertook desilting of drains and removal of dry leaves to prevent water stagnation and maintain environmental cleanliness.

In addition to physical cleaning, awareness activities, including a walkathon, led by nominated corporator Mrs Lakshmi Hari and NTI Layout Residents Welfare Association President N Shankar Rao, were carried out to encourage residents to maintain cleanliness, practise waste segregation, and avoid littering.

Community participation played an important role in the success of the programme, reflecting the collective responsibility promoted by the Swachh Bharat campaign.
