Una, February 13- Under the Clean City-Prosperous City campaign in Municipal Corporation Una, on Thursday, members of Safai Mitras and Self Help Groups ran a cleanliness campaign through plogging from the railway track of Upper Arniala to the Panchayat Bhawan. During this, 35 kg of single use polythene and about 90 kg of other waste were collected. Under this two-month long campaign run by the Municipal Corporation, the single use polythene collected will be compressed and sent to the cement plant so that it can be reused.
Municipal Corporation Commissioner Mahendra Pal Gurjar said that in the next phase of the campaign, members of self help groups will start a door-to-door awareness campaign from Friday. Under this campaign, along with educating and making people aware by knocking at every door, information will be collected from each house whether wet and dry waste is given separately or not.
Along with this, information will also be taken whether the house is connected to the sewage line and whether proper arrangement of septic tank has been made. Along with this, citizens will be informed about the types of wet and dry waste and they will be encouraged to give these wastes separately from their homes.
