Highlighting the administration’s firm stance against pollution, the DC announced that strict monitoring of tourist vehicles headed towards Bumla, Jhongatser, and other tourist spots will be implemented. Vehicles carrying single-use plastics will be restricted from proceeding beyond the Giant Buddha Statue.

Security personnel present at the event assured their full cooperation in maintaining cleanliness in the area. The Deputy Commissioner also informed that similar cleanliness drives will be organized at other key locations across the district in the coming days.
