Beautification Drive Day 2: Top Amritsar MC officials, industrial association join hands

The ongoing city beautification campaign initiated by the Amritsar Municipal Corporation received a good response on its second day as city officials and stakeholders came together to clean and beautify the Focal Point industrial area.

The campaign includes a wide range of activities, such as road sweeping, debris and garbage removal, patchwork on roads, footpath and median repairs, pruning of wild vegetation, watering of plants, streetlight repairs and removal of illegal encroachments and unauthorised hoardings.

Led by MC Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Aulakh, the campaign, launched from the city’s iconic Golden Gate, is part of a seven-day special drive aimed at improving urban environment. On Tuesday, activities were carried out in collaboration with the Focal Point Industrial Welfare Association and with support from Dera Baba Bhure Wale.

Mayor Jatinder Singh Moti Bhatia attended the event as the chief guest, while senior officials of the MC and key representatives from the Focal Point Industrial Welfare Association, including its president Sandeep Khosla and Ranjan Aggarwal, played a vital role in organising the day’s efforts. The activities included tree painting and area-wise sanitation along the GT Road. The association also provided food and refreshments to sanitation workers.

MC Commissioner Aulakh lauded the support of the association and emphasised that while the campaign may last only seven days, its objective is to instil a sustained commitment to city cleanliness and civic responsibility. He appealed to residents, social organisations, NGOs and all industrial and residential welfare bodies to join hands with the municipal corporation in ongoing developmental initiatives.

The MC Commissioner emphasised that the ultimate goal is to transform Amritsar into a clean, green and welcoming destination for both tourists and pilgrims. He reiterated his call for public participation, urging all sections of society to come forward and actively contribute to the city’s progress and beautification.
