“Every citizen must understand the importance of a clean environment. With unity and cooperation, we can build a healthier, greener, and more sustainable Naharlagun,” they stressed.
The social service drive, marked by active public participation, reflected the growing awareness among the residents of the need for community-driven cleanliness initiatives, in line with broader state and national campaigns to improve urban sanitation and public health.
