With a mission to keep the state capital clean and make the citizens disciplined, the Humlog Trust, an NGO, will start Pawan Patna Abhiyan from August 15. It has also launched a signature campaign among the citizens with a pledge to keep their locality clean and avoid use of plastic and polythene.
Leading the campaign, Parveen Amanullah said the state capital has been defaced by heaps of garbage all around, waterlogging in different residential localities, drainage chocked due to polythene waste, vanishing greenery and increasing number of auto-mobiles on the narrow roads. She urged the people to stop using and throwing polythene bags to save the environment.
The signature campaign will continue till Friday and on that day a blood donation camp will also be held at Khanqah Munamia, Patna City. She said the trust is also making the citizens aware about the use of RTI Act for keeping Patna clean and green and other issues. To seek information about the cleaning and removal of garbage from their respective localities, the people can seek information from the information office of the municipal corporation by filing the Form A along with a postal order of Rs 10.
