The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) took a proactive step towards a cleaner city with a deep cleaning campaign on the Sion-Panvel Highway. This initiative, held on June 22nd, 2024, highlighted the importance of public participation in maintaining a clean environment.
While the Sion-Panvel Highway falls under the Public Works Department's purview, the NMMC recognizes its impact on Navi Mumbai's overall cleanliness. With a significant volume of out-of-town traffic using the highway daily, its cleanliness is crucial for the city's hygiene rating.
The campaign, held along the Belapur to Vashi stretch of the highway, witnessed strong participation from various sections of the Navi Mumbai community. Leading the initiative was Navi Mumbai's Municipal Commissioner, Dr. Kailas Shinde. He was joined by NMMC officials, employees, sanitation workers, and a large number of enthusiastic citizens from Belapur, Nerul, Turbhe, and Vashi. Students from the National Service Scheme (NSS) also played a vital role, contributing their energy and commitment to civic responsibility.
Dr. Shinde addressed the participants at Uran Phata, emphasising the critical role of public involvement in maintaining cleanliness. He announced plans to extend similar deep cleaning campaigns to other main roads and neighborhoods within Navi Mumbai. These weekend initiatives aim to further encourage citizen participation in creating a cleaner city.
Following Dr. Shinde's address, all participants took a collective pledge towards cleanliness. This was followed by a hands-on cleaning effort, with everyone working together to collect plastic, paper, and other waste along the highway. The cleaning extended to areas under the flyover, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the entire stretch.
The campaign received enthusiastic support from officials across various NMMC departments, including the Belapur, Nerul, Turbhe, and Vashi divisions. Their participation, alongside sanitation workers and citizen volunteers, showcased a united front for a cleaner Navi Mumbai. Dr. Shinde actively participated in the cleaning drive alongside volunteers, demonstrating leadership by example.
This collaborative effort between the NMMC and Navi Mumbai residents serves as a beacon of hope, highlighting the positive impact public participation can have on creating a cleaner and healthier city. The success of this campaign paves the way for future initiatives, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and environmental awareness within the community.
