SMC Undertakes Special Sanitation Drive in and around Government Hospitals as part of Swachhata Pakhwada Campaign

Srinagar: The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) has taken a proactive step towards maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards in Srinagar by launching a special sanitation drive centered on Government hospitals viz. LD Hospital, Bone & Joint Hospital, SKIMS Medical College Bemina, JLNM Hospital Rainawari, SMHS Hospital and also organised training on bio-medical waste management training program for staff as part of the Swachhata Pakhwada Campaign.

Through this organized cleanup effort, the SMC aims to emphasize the importance of a clean and healthy environment within healthcare facilities.

Aligned with the Nationwide Swachhata Pakhwada Campaign, a movement advocating for cleaner surroundings and enhanced sanitation practices across all sectors, the SMC’s activities in and around Government hospitals aim to raise awareness about the critical role of cleanliness in promoting public health and well-being.

Commissioner SMC, Dr. Owais Ahmed, IAS, expressed his support for the initiative, stating, “The Srinagar Municipal Corporation is committed to fostering a culture of cleanliness and hygiene in our city. Through this special sanitation drive, we are actively working to establish a cleaner and healthier environment in and around Government hospitals.”

By collectively embracing cleanliness as a fundamental value, we can foster a more sustainable and vibrant community for all.
