Premises of mini-Vidhana Soudha in Mangaluru cleaned

Volunteers who took part in the Ramakrishna Mission’s monthly Swachh Mangaluru Abhiyan cleaned the premises of the mini-Vidhana Soudha here on Sunday.

Swami Jitakamananda, adhyaksha of Ramakrishna Mutt, Mangaluru, and M.S. Moodithaya, Vice-Chancellor of Nitte (Deemed-to-be University) jointly initiated the cleaning drive.

Students of Nitte Institute of Physiotherapy too joined the volunteers in clearing garden waste and non-recyclable plastic waste on the premises of the mini-Vidhana Soudha. Six black spots on the premises were cleared of garbage.

Unwanted plants, creepers, bushes, plastic waste, glass bottles, and unused stones at the entrance area of the soudha were removed. Branches of trees which were obstructing visitor movement and parking space were pruned enhancing overall accessibility and aesthetics.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Moodithaya said: “When tourists visit Mangaluru, they appreciate the cleanliness of the city. This clean image is the result of the collective efforts of the Ramakrishna Mission’s Swachh Mangaluru Abhiyan and other government institutions.”

Capt. Ganesh Karnik, former MLC, and Dhanesh Kumar, principal, Nitte Institute of Physiotherapy, also took part in the cleaning.
