SAMBA, JULY 31: The District Commissioner (DC) of Samba, Abhishek Sharma, chaired a pivotal meeting today at the Conference Hall, Samba, to discuss the upcoming Swachhta Pakhwada campaign titled “Ek Ped Maa k Naam, Ek Ped Shahidoon k Naam.” This fortnight-long initiative, set to run from 1st August to 15th August 2024, will focus on a wide array of Swachhta (cleanliness) activities aimed at fostering community participation and enhancing civic sense.
The event saw the participation of district and sectoral officers, all of whom expressed their commitment to making the campaign a success. The campaign will engage various stakeholders, including government offices, schools, colleges, social organizations, NGOs, and former Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) members, extending the activities down to the Gram Panchayat level. A series of cleanliness drives will be conducted at different locations, and awareness will be raised among school and college students through co-curricular activities.
In addition to these activities, DC Sharma directed officers to visit the families of martyrs and involve them in the plantation drive, paying floral tributes to the martyrs.
