Launch of 'Clean and Green Bhubaneswar' Campaign
The campaign is launched by the commissioner of the BMC, Samarth Verma in Khandagiri-Udayagiri heritage area. It is a collaborative effort of BMC and Orissa Environmental Society (OES). The city of temples, Bhubaneswar is now confronted with numerous challenges, mostly for its rapid expansion, exploding population, and developmental pressures. Among the pressing environmental issues are the mammoth amounts of garbage generated and their management, cleanliness of the environment, decline in green cover, protection of water sources and their conservation, increasing traffic congestion and developing an effective public transport system. The main objective of the campaign is to make initiatives of the administration useful with the active participation of the inhabitants.
