The Bharat Scouts and Guides, eastern region, organised various Nukkad Nataks (street plays) to promote Mission Swachchh Bharat at the Biju Patnaik International Airport here on Monday for creating awareness amongst the employees of AAI, CISF, airlines, passengers, taxi drivers and other stakeholders.
The street play emphasised on the importance of cleanliness not just in homes but also in public places, such as airports and railway stations, as chances of catching contagious diseases is higher at unfamiliar surroundings.
The team led by Odisha State Bharat Scouts and Guides Secretary Mihir Ranjan Patnaik and Airport Director Sharad Kumar carried out the awareness drive.
Kumar said airport is an important landmark in spreading knowledge on various social issues including cleanliness and the effort taken up by Bharat Scouts and Guides and AAI will enlighten the staff and stakeholders in understanding their moral duties towards their fellow citizens.
The scouts’ team also undertook the task of cleaning the areas surrounding the New Domestic Terminal Building (T1) as a part of their awareness campaign.
