The State governments campaign to make the State completely free from waste will begin on August 15, Independence Day.

The Freedom from waste campaign being organised under the aegis of the Haritha Keralam Mission will be led by local self-government institutions in association with the public.

Arrangements on

Arrangements for the campaign are under way.

On August 15, after the district-level Independence Day functions attended by Ministers, an announcement of Freedom from waste will be made.

The announcement will be made at Independence Day programmes organised by the local self-government institutions. Peoples representatives and volunteers will conduct house visits and sensitisation drives on the day and the next.

Sanitation meets

Sanitation meets will be organised at the ward-level on the day from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The ground-situation reports from house visits from August 6 to 13 will be compiled and presented.

At 7 p.m., a pledge to make the ward completely garbage-free will be taken. Sanitation lamps will be lit in all houses in the ward simultaneously.
