Ludhiana: In a unique initiative, Ludhiana police have disposed of over 10,000kg papers of Saanjh Kendras in an ecofriendly manner at a mill here.
The step will not only make the offices clutter-free, but also help preserve trees as these papers will be recycled.
Saanjh Kendra nodal officer Pragya Jain said, “During my visits to Saanjh Kendras, I noticed papers piled up. As the focus is to digitalise, the record of the work being done at Saanjh Kendras is maintained in computers also. Therefore, I thought of making the offices clutter-free.”
“We approached a paper mill in the city to dispose of the papers. The staff of Saanjh Kendras worked for two days and made bundles of the papers. Those were loaded on a truck and sent to the mill. The old records of up to 2016-2017 have been destroyed. The total weight of the papers was 10,510kg. We have also managed to generate a revenue of Rs 1,47,140 which will go to the treasury,” she added.
