The youth wing of the Indian Red Cross Society local unit here organised a post Dussehra cleanliness drive in the Kuakhai river after the immersion of the idol took place.
The drive aimed at establishing values of environmental protection among the young minds of the Youth Red Cross volunteers and local inhabitants as well as spreading a message of keeping the rivers and other water bodies clean after immersion. Over 50 youth volunteers of the Acharya Harihar College, the Rama Devi Women’s College and the Institute of Media Studies along with the Youth Red Cross State councilors and staff took part in this programme. State Youth Red Cross secretary Dr Mangala Prasad Mohanty said the initiative would not only inspire the young volunteers of Red Cross but also create awareness for a clean and safe environment. Youth Red Cross officer Dr Sarita Supkar coordinated.
