As part of the ongoing nationwide Swachhata Hi Seva 2024 campaign, Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Rural Division Dimapur, in collaboration with the residents of Urra Village, organized a cleanliness and plantation drive on September 25.
According to DIPR report, the initiative was held in the Urra Village Market area, which has been designated as one of the Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs) under Rural Division Dimapur.
Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs) are typically neglected garbage points, known as black spots, adopted during the campaign period for focussed, time bound transformation into clean areas.
The event witnessed significant participation from local volunteers. The program began with an address by the Block Sub- Divisional Officer, who emphasized the importance of the Swachhata Hi Seva (SHV) 2004 campaign. Following this a pledge taking ceremony was held before participants preceded with the cleanliness activities.
