Guwahati: In line with the nationwide ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ (SHS) 2023 campaign, AIIMS Guwahati on Sunday started a clean-up drive near Dhopatari Market, which is on the road to AIIMS Guwahati campus.
Th cleanliness drive garnered active involvement from a diverse group, including AIIMS Guwahati students and staff, labourers from M/s NCC Ltd, and local Panchayat residents. About 250 volunteers united in the task of cleaning up the roadside and a segment of the weekly vegetable market.
The programme, under the guidance of Dr. Ashok Puranik, the Executive Director of AIIMS Guwahati, commenced with the reading of the ‘Swachhata Pledge’.
In his address, Dr. Puranik emphasised the importance of community engagement in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the surroundings. The cleanup initiative, synchronised with the national campaign, persisted for one and a half hours.
