Mysore/Mysuru: Keeping in view the on-going nationwide ‘
Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan,’ members of Mysuru Ex-Servicemen Movement organised a ‘Shram Daan’ this morning where they cleaned the 1,008 steps of Chamundi Hill that leads to Sri Chamundeshwari Temple.
Armed with huge carry bags, the ex-servicemen assembled at the foot of Chamundi Hill at around 6.15 am and started the cleaning campaign at 7 am. More than 100 former defence personnel were part of the campaign and interestingly, seeing them cleaning the surroundings, people who had come for morning walk too joined hands with them.
Over 25 cadets from Sainik Academy Mysuru, who have been selected to the Indian Army also pitched in. The cleaning campaign yielded over 25 bags of empty bottles, plastic bags and cups and discarded footwear. The defence personnel were split into teams and they wore tracksuits, masks and hand gloves.
