Swachh Pune Swachh Bharat a social group is spearheading the Swachh movement in the city of Pune since October 2014. In the past seven years barring last year due to covid restrictions the group has tried to strengthen the swachh cause by various means.
Without missing out even a single week the group has made a positive impact on city landscape, through cleanliness, beautification and awareness drives. From the past four years cleaning Kawadipat post monsoon season has become an annual mega drive to save the ecology of the place known for its natural beauty and a transit halt for migratory birds.
Wing Commander Puneet Sharma the founder Swachh Pune Swachh Bharat urged Punekars to change their habit of dumping trash in the Mula Mutha river.
It is seriously impacting the ecology thereby reducing the number of bird species visiting the place. A mega drive of cleanup was conducted on Saturday the 18 Sep 2021. The quantum of garbage in terms of plastic, thermocol, glass bottles, slippers and cloths is is huge and requires mammoth effort in next couple of weeks.
In pursuit to achieve this objectives another mega cleanup drive is planned on 26 September 2021 from 0700 h to 0900h. Wg Cdr Sharma has sent an invite to all social groups of the city to come forward and strengthen the cause of clean Kawadipat. Many groups have already pledged their support to the cause.
