Jind civic body seeks public support to curb garbage dumping

Jind, Nov 15(UNI) The Jind Municipal Council on Sunday carried out a special cleanliness drive for the sixth consecutive week, with Chairperson Dr Anuradha Saini joining sanitation workers on the streets and urging residents to stop dumping waste in public places.
The drive covered major roads and intersections, including Rohtak Road, Gohana Road, Safidon Road, Devi Lal Chowk, Patiala Chowk, Apollo Road, Kundan Cinema and Batakh Chowk.
Municipal teams cleaned roadsides and public spaces as part of the council's campaign to improve sanitation across the city.
"Cleanliness cannot be achieved by municipal workers alone. Residents must take responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean," Saini said.
She urged shopkeepers, traders and residents to dispose of garbage at designated locations and refrain from throwing waste on roads and into drains.
Saini said the weekly campaign aimed to make cleanliness a sustained civic responsibility rather than a one-day exercise.
Praising sanitation workers, she said their efforts were central to maintaining hygiene and improving public spaces.
Referring to civic development over the past four years, Saini said the council had undertaken road construction and repairs, street improvements, park maintenance and beautification of public areas.
She said efforts were ongoing to address pending civic issues across different wards.
The chairperson called for greater public participation, saying lasting improvements in sanitation required cooperation between residents and municipal authorities.
