The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) recently teamed up with various groups for a cleanliness campaign at the Siang River Front in Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. This initiative, part of BRO’s Project ‘Brahmank,’ aimed to promote cleanliness and hygiene among Border Roads personnel in alignment with the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission.’ The drive, held in collaboration with local organizations and volunteers, emphasized creating a plastic-free riverfront environment.
Lieutenant Colonel Mahendra Rawat highlighted that the program was a step towards realizing the vision of a ‘Clean India’ inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. Project ‘Brahmank’ not only focuses on infrastructure development but also engages in welfare activities like medical camps and skill development sessions for the local community. The Chief Engineer, S.C. Looniya, expressed optimism that such joint efforts would strengthen ties between BRO and local residents while providing opportunities for youth in the Siang districts.
The event received support from academic institutions, student unions, and youth groups in Pasighat, all working towards restoring the glory of the Siang River Front. By instilling values of discipline and community participation, BRO underscores its commitment to national development through sustainable practices. Such collaborations not only enhance BRO’s bond with local communities but also create avenues for mutual growth and progress.
