DHAMRA, OCTOBER 3, 2026

Dhamra Port Company Ltd. (DPCL) organised a community clean-up drive at the historic Dhamarai Temple here under the aegis of Swachhata Hi Seva 2026, reaffirming its commitment to environmental stewardship, community participation and sustainable development.

The initiative, held in line with this year’s theme, “Swachhata Mein Sahbhag, Swachh Bharat, Vikshit Bharat”, sought to underline the importance of collective action in creating clean, healthy and sustainable communities.

Around 120 participants, comprising employees of the organisation, business partners and contractual workmen, took part in the cleanliness campaign. The volunteers cleaned the temple premises and adjoining areas and helped promote responsible waste handling and greater awareness about maintaining clean public spaces.

The drive also provided an opportunity for DPCL to engage with the local community and reinforce the message that cleanliness is not a one-day exercise but a continuous habit and a shared responsibility.

The coordinated effort resulted in the collection of approximately 460 kg of garbage and waste from the temple premises and surrounding areas. The substantial quantity of waste removed highlighted the tangible impact that organised community participation can have on the cleanliness of public spaces.

The initiative underscored the role of collective responsibility in advancing the objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission. It also reflected the company’s continued efforts to partner with local communities on initiatives aimed at promoting environmental responsibility, social well-being and sustainable development.

 “Small actions, when supported by collective participation, can make a significant difference in creating cleaner, healthier and more sustainable communities,” the company said.
