Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has appealed to citizens, institutions, and organisations to actively participate in a major ‘Highway Cleanliness Drive’ scheduled for Sunday, September 28, at 7 am. The initiative is being carried out under the nationwide ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign, launched as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission.
Focus on Key Arterial Roads
As part of the drive, two of the busiest arterial roads in the city—the Sion-Panvel Highway and the Thane-Belapur Road—will undergo intensive cleaning. Although the Sion-Panvel Highway falls under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Department (PWD), NMMC is undertaking the effort to maintain Navi Mumbai’s reputation for cleanliness.
Volunteer Participation
Significantly, a large number of volunteers from Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan in Revdanda, Alibaug, will join the campaign alongside local civic staff, NGOs, students, and cleanliness enthusiasts.
Building on Previous Success
This follows the success of NMMC’s ‘Ek Divas, Ek Saath, Ek Tas’ (One Day, One Together, One Hour) drive held on September 25, which saw participation from over two lakh students and 25,000 citizens across all eight ward offices.
