Haridwar, October 11 (HS) – Students from Gurukul Kangri University and IIT Roorkee, in collaboration with Rotary Club Kankhal, conducted a Ganga cleanliness drive at Daridra Bhanjan Ghat in Kankhal. During the campaign, students cleaned old and dirty clothes, waste materials, and plastic from the Ganga ghats, promoting the message of a clean Ganga.

Encouraging the students, Rotary Club Kankhal President Harpal Singh and Secretary Rajeev Arora said that only determined efforts can make the Ganga clean. People should let the river flow pure and avoid throwing waste and garbage into it.

Take advantage of the Ganga Bandhi and contribute to making the Ganga pollution-free.” He added that both the state and central governments are running several programs to keep the Ganga clean.
