JAMMU, Dec 24: Under its ‘Wall of Shame’ initiative, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) here today organized a comprehensive cleanliness and awareness drive at Panjbakhtar road, at a location earlier identified as a spot prone to garbage dumping and open urination.
On this occasion, JMC Commissioner, Dr. Devansh Yadav, interacted with locals and shopkeepers and emphasized the importance of civic sense, cleanliness and shared responsibility in maintaining public spaces. He appealed to the public to refrain from unhygienic practices and extend full cooperation to JMC in its mission to keep the city neat, clean and dignified.
Citizens were encouraged to act as ‘cleanliness ambassadors’ and motivate others in their neighbourhoods to adopt proper waste disposal practices.
A handout stated that to bring about a visible and psychological transformation of the site, paintings and awareness artwork were created on the wall under ‘Wall of Shame’ initiative. These creative visuals aim to deter defacement of public spaces while fostering cleanliness, civic pride and respect for religious and community areas.
Joint Commissioner, Health & Sanitation, JMC, Abdul Sattar; Health Officer, Dr. Vinod Sharma; IEC In-charge, Dr. Divya Sharma; Assistant Floriculture Officer, Dr. Rabia Khan and other senior officers and JMC staff along with locals were also present on the occasion.
