Himalayan Cleanup campaign commences at the Kohima Arts College auditorium

KOHIMA: As part of the Himalayan Cleanup campaign, the Kohima Sanuorii Cleanup Campaign kick-started with an inaugural programme held at the Kohima Arts College auditorium on Saturday. The campaign was organized by the Kohima Village Youth Organisation (KVYO) and Green Team Kohima on the theme ‘Our Mountains Deserve Better’ in Kohima.

“Much have been said in the past and continually been said on how precarious our environment and the land we are living in has become. However, not many have come forward to save the environment” said KMC Administrator Kovi Meyase. He opined that there is a need for a push for a behavioural change and also change in our lifestyle and our practices, stated a release.

Kovi said that the participation of the volunteers is an exhibition that we are not only trying to make our mountains cleaner but also giving a much-needed push to attitudinal change and behaviour towards our environment. He expressed hope that the campaign will not be a one-day initiative but a lifetime prerogative for all. He said that the KMC is proud to be part of the initiative and assured support in the coming days and wished the campaign a grand success.

Highlighting about the campaign, KCCI general secretary Akhrieu Mor said that “as long as we continue to live on this earth we will be generating waste but today the magnitude of waste generated is so much that one man or an organisation alone will not be able to mitigate this menace.” Mor added that “the burning issue today is how to manage waste and minimize the waste we generate every day and until and unless we take action to manage our waste today it will be out of our hand to manage it later.” She added that the main focus of the campaign is to bring the issue of waste to the forefront. She said “that is why the campaign needs people’s support and that concern to manage and minimize waste should touch the conscience of all.” She said the exercise will be carried out meticulously as it is not just about collecting the waste and dumping it in the dumping site but understanding our waste and how we are polluting the environment.
