A total of 84 NCC cadets of Bishop Heber College took out a cycle rally on Friday for a distance of 100 km from the city to Puliancholai for propagating the significance of ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’.
They distributed pamphlets to the villagers en route and explained to them the hazards of plastic wastes. They appealed to the people to contribute their share towards environment protection.
“We organised street-corner meetings at Manachanallur, Pulivalam, Thuraiyur, and Edavadi,” said P.V.Rajkar, Commanding Officer, 2TN Bn. Earlier, Paul Dhayabaran, principal of the college, flagged off the rally near the college. Lt. K.Premkumar, Company Commander, 2/3 Coy, NCC Army Wing, delivered a lecture on the importance of ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’.
Students will return to the college on Saturday, spreading awareness on the campaign en route.
