Mangaluru, 06 Dec 2015: Ramakrishna Mission here carried out 29th Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan at Nagori locality along NH 75 on Sunday December 6 from 7.30am to 10.30am.
 
The local corporator Praveen Chandra Alva, and Billava Sangha – Garodi president Mahabala, flagged off the 29th drive in the presence of Swami Jitakamananda, president of Ramakrishna mutt, here and MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik.
 
The group of Art of Living headed by Sadashiv Kamath, devotees of Garodi Temple headed by  Kishore Kumar, students of Government First Grade College headed by Professor Mahesh K B and Sheshappa Amin, volunteers of Patanjalai Yoga Shikshana Samiti, volunteers of Nivedita Balaga headed by Rathna Alva and Sheela Shetty actively participated in the Abhiyan.

 

 
Asha D’Silva, Bhaskar Chnadra Shetty, Balakrishna Nayak, K V Sathyanarayana, Suresh Shetty, Harish Achar and several other eminent personalities participated in the Abhiyan.
 
Volunteers cleaned the heaps of garbage lying around Nagori Bus Sstand for years together. Weeds and grass were removed on the nearby roads and footpaths using the grass cutting machine. An open drainage line which was a nuisance and was posing danger to the pedestrians was closed using the stone slabs.
 
Abhiyan volunteers also cleaned two bus shelters, removed the posters etc. stuck on the walls, and painted the bus shelters thus giving a much needed facelift.
 
The path leading to Sai Mandir at Nagori was occupied by stone slabs and construction debris and was obstructing the way, posing major hurdle to devotees and pedestrians frequenting Sai Mandir. Our volunteers removed the slabs and debris using the earthmovers and cleared the path.
 
Two – three direction boards including the main board mentioning the location of Nagori were faded and were no longer serving the purpose. They were cleaned and repainted thus giving a makeover.
  
Volunteers also distributed handbills on Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan to generate awareness among the locals in the area. MRPL, principal patron of the event sponsored the drive.
