Under the ‘Tourists place cleanliness drive’ the city cleaning drive was launched at Datia on Monday with the help of locals. The Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation (MPSTDC) in order to attract tourists to State during the tourism year 2015-16 launched the program special drive namely ‘Tourists places cleanliness drive.’
All categories of the society including youths and senior people offered their services voluntarily in the drive to make their city clean. The locals cleaned the lane sand roads of the city by registering in their participation in the drive that started at 9 am in the city. The locals collected the garbage in the basket and took pledge that in future they would let garbage spread in the lanes and roads of the city and that the garbage would be thrown in the dustbins placed for collecting garbage by the municipality.
MPSTDC Gwalior region area manager Vijay Agarwal sought the cooperation of locals for this drive by calling on them and the locals also paid full attention to his call for making their city clean.
The main attraction of the drive was that the administrative officials including chief executive officer of district Panchayat Datia Bhaskar lakshkar, public relation officer Mittal and chief municipal officer of Datia and the commoners of the city happily participated in the drive to clean the city.
The MPSTDC is organising similar programs on monthly basis in different cities of the State and the drive has created awareness among the locals of the tourist cities towards cleanliness.
