Srinagar- As part of the activities planned for Swachhta Pakhwada (Cleanliness Fortnight), Central Government Pensioners’ Welfare Association (Kashmir) participated in a Special Cleanliness Campaign at Khushalsar on Monday in collaboration with a NGO Nagin Lake Conservation Organization led by Manzoor Wangnoo.

For this purpose, a large number of our members, led by Mohammad Shafi Pandit, IAS (Rtd), President, CGPWA (K), proceeded to Khushalsar in the morning, where they were met by the representatives of NLCO, local residents, a huge group of students from schools and other stakeholders including a senior  academician Dr Sanjay Gupta, Director, Centre for Water, Rishihood University and persons having hands on experience in the field of water bodies management.

he representatives of CGPWA (K), NLCO and several prominent local residents participated in the cleaning drive in shikaras and with help of the huge machine  (Water Master), specially requisitioned for the cleaning campaign. They also visited the spot near Gil Kadal, where they were shown the patch of Khushal Sar which has recently been cleaned by NLCO at huge cost of time and effort, which offered great hope for achieving the goal of restoring, protecting and preserving the water bodies in the heart of Srinagar city, by synergising the limited resources available.

After participating in the cleanliness drive, a meeting for creating awareness of the budding youth and recognition of the committed activists was held at Kashmir Mahal, Nishat, where the bottlenecks witnessed in carrying out an effective cleaning drive, and steps to be taken  for making such drives sustainable in the long term, were identified.
