Punjab Launches Second Phase of 'Mission Clean Punjab' Amid Mixed Public ResponsePreviousNext

Punjab's 'Mission Clean Punjab' campaign has entered its second phase with intensified cleanliness drives in Mohali and Amritsar, involving local officials and community participation. While authorities emphasize strict action against littering and coordinated efforts across schools and municipalities, some residents in Amritsar and Tarn Taran criticize the campaign's effectiveness, citing ongoing garbage issues and insufficient official response. The initiative aims to sustain cleanliness through public cooperation and enhanced waste management measures.
