Chandigarh - The Cleanest City

Yes, Chandigarh has been adjudged recently as the cleanest city. Indeed, compared to many other cities in the country today. But how clean will it be?
Just go out in the evening for a walk on Sukhna Lake and you will find all sorts of litter including empty cups, paper, empty packets of chips. The central market place, Sector 17, is no better. And lots of other places. Well-educated people would throw out wrappers and empty bottles and paper plates out of their cars on the road, as if this is the free dustbin.
It's time for all of us to consciously make endeavour not to make our city a big dustbin. Let's be proud of our city, and its beauty. Let's keep it clean.

Young 'MyChandigarh' Brigade

Considering the litter that spoils our beautiful tourist spots especially the Sukhna Lake and the Rock Garden, it is time that we wake up to take some action against littering. Some of us volunteers have decided to go out to the schools and speak with little children upto class 8th to be a part of 'My Chandigarh' Young Brigade, which would point out to any adult littering in the city, requesting them to use the dustbins.
The little ones will be made aware about cleanliness and environment protection, and they would also carry their message home besides discussing with their friends.
We do hope people will listen to the little kids.
