ITANAGAR, JAN 3: The Youth Mission for Clean River (YMCR) conducted a cleanliness drive at the Yagamso River along the Energy Park stretch here today.
Volunteers removed approximately 1,800 kilograms of waste from the river, consisting primarily of household plastics and building construction materials.
To ensure sustainable disposal, the team segregated the collected items on-site. While plastic and construction debris were transported to Dumpsite for processing, the organic wet waste was composted in pits dug nearby to naturally enrich the soil.
The initiative saw active participation from the Nyishi Students' Union of Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) and social media influencers, including Shiva Tells and Deju Bayor.
Kanku Kabak, YMCR Convenor (Women and Administration), thanked the volunteers and noted that the organization has been promoting river conservation since 2016. She urged the public to practice proper disposal habits in their daily lives.
Mullu Dada, Creative Dept. Convenor, further encouraged participants to spread the message of waste management among their friends and families.
Influencer Shiva Tells also addressed the gathering, emphasizing the importance of waste segregation at the source and the need for greater public awareness regarding plastic pollution.
