Volunteers join hands to clean Swarnarekha River in Jamshedpur

Jamshedpur, July 7: As part of the Clean River Swarnarekha Campaign, team JUSCO along with volunteers from Beyond Fitness, XLRI, Tata Steel, Tata Power, Inner Wheel Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Kids International School, Valley View School, Mission Gange and others, made an effort to clean Swarnarekha beneath the Domuhani Bridge stretch from 6 am to 7:30am on Sunday morning. More than 300 volunteers including 80 children toiled together and collected waste of about 12.5 tonnes maximum of which were discarded clothes, plastic, tins and glass. 

The team had to wade their way through human faeces which proves open defacing is still a problem and we found people washing vehicles, bathing and washing clothes  in the river. Mountaineer Premlata Agarwal, Jusco officials and others were part of the campaign.

They urged all citizens of Jamshedpur to help by making an effort not to dirty this area and keep river bed clean. Be Zimmedaar towards your own Shaher and save natural resources to keep city beautiful, green and clean. We have water now but if our river beds are dirty then in a few years we will have no water to drink.
