DIMAPUR: Youth Ministry of Shamator Town Baptist Church undertook a 10 day cleanliness and beautification drive from September 3 to 12, 2026, with the vision of promoting civic responsibility and keeping the town clean and pleasant for all.
The initiative began on September 3 with wall painting across various areas of the town, inscribing Bible verses, scriptures and meaningful quotations. The effort aimed not only to improve the town’s appearance but also to share positive and inspirational messages with the community.
The campaign culminated on September 12 with a town wide cleaning drive, where youth actively participated in picking up litter, sweeping roads and cleaning public spaces. Their collective effort highlighted the importance of community participation in maintaining a healthy environment.
Speaking on the occasion, Youth Pastor Lato R. Yimchunger expressed appreciation to all supporters and well wishers who contributed to the initiative. He noted that the project began with no financial resources but with faith in Christ and confidence in public support. He thanked the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, which contributed Rs.10,000, along with individuals who extended assistance in various ways.
“Our town, our responsibility,” said Yimchunger, urging citizens to work collectively for the betterment of Shamator. He appealed to everyone to contribute in whatever way possible, adding, “If you cannot participate, at least do not make the town dirty.”
The youth ministry emphasized that the drive reflects its commitment not only to Christian service but also to the welfare and development of the wider community. It expressed hope that the initiative would inspire individuals, churches, organizations and the broader public to take greater responsibility for maintaining cleanliness and protecting the environment.
