Many volunteers cleaned the Kadri area on Sunday as part of a series of cleanliness campaign taken up by the Ramakrishna Mission.
The bus shelter at Shivabagh in Kadri did not have seats; the volunteers cleaned the bus stand, erected some cement slab seats and painted the shelter.
Heaps of garbage were thrown in the Kadri market area. Volunteers collected two tippers of garbage with the help of an earthmover and disposed it. Two more bus shelters in the Kadri market area were thoroughly cleaned and painted anew. Some direction boards which were too old to serve the purpose were repainted and given a new look. This was the 23rd edition of the Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan. More than 100 volunteers, devotees and well-wishers of the Ramakrishna Mission, NSS students, Red Cross members, students from Government First Grade College, Car Street, and members of Nividta Balaga, Mangaluru, participated in the drive. Volunteers also distributed the Swacch Mangaluru awareness pamphlets among the residents of the , Mallikatta and Shivabagh area. Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited, the principal patron of the event, sponsored the drive.
