“I would like to thank White Globe NGO as they have collaborated with us and organised today’s event. The programme Athvas has been going on since April 9 which was inaugurated by our LG. A lot of people have come forward to take part in this event and I am really thankful to them”, said Gazala, DFO Lakes and Waterways Development Authority.

Locals also participated in the event.

Firdous Ahmad, a local, told ANI, “A cleaning drive has been organised here to make the interior of the Dal Lake clean. I am thankful to Ghazala madam and Saba madam that they have taken initiative.

He further said, “I have taken a break from my work today because I wanted to be a part of the cleaning drive and I also feel parents should make their children aware of the cleanliness of society."
