Mirgi Singha, one of the few quaint riverbanks in Keonjhar has always mesmerised the visitors for its stunning landscape and so it became a natural attraction for picnickers and weekend revellers. It is indeed a matter of great concern that once a pristine riverbank, Mirgi Singha has now been obliviously and savagely littered by its visitors. Therefore, the volunteers of DRI Plant, Joda decided to take the mantle on themselves. The morning hours of 28th March saw a team of 75 such selfless participants, took a trip to this site and engaged themselves into picking up all the filths. After 3 hours of cleanliness drive, the area was cleared of all trashes which brought a sense of achievement among all the volunteers, as one of them stated “this is an attempt to send a message to the society”. The volunteering team also took this opportunity to clean a local temple area and planted 25 crepe Jasmine saplings around its periphery which will not only add a flowery milieu around the temple but also provide the required flowers to the worshippers visiting the temple.
