On October 2nd, coinciding with Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, the Jhanjharpur Nagar Parishad in Madhubani district launched the 'Swachhta Hi Seva 2026' campaign. The primary goal of this initiative was to raise public awareness about cleanliness and emphasize the importance of achieving a waste-free environment.

A special awareness program was organized at the Nagar Parishad office, featuring a selfie point where participants took pledges for cleanliness. The event saw the presence of Chief Councillor Babita Sharma, Executive Officer Manoj Kumar, Sanitation Officer Deepak Kumar, City Manager Sanjay Kumar, along with other officials, staff, and sanitation workers.

The cleanliness drive, led by Chief Councillor Babita Sharma, commenced from the Nagar Parishad office, proceeded through the Jhanjharpur Block office, and culminated at Langra Chowk. Throughout the drive, citizens were educated about the significance of hygiene and encouraged to maintain cleanliness in their surroundings. Babita Sharma stressed that the vision of 'Swachh Bharat' (Clean India) can only be realized through the active participation of every individual. She urged residents to segregate wet and dry waste and keep their localities clean. Banners displayed during the campaign carried slogans such as 'Freedom from Waste, Everyone's Participation,' highlighting the collaborative effort required for sanitation.
