9th massive cleanliness campaign in the series of ‘Cleanse the planet earth, to remove disease and curse’ (‘Ho prithvi saaf, mite rog abhishaap’) conducted sucessfully on May 5th, 2012 in Puri (Orissa). His Excellency Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan inaugurated the 9th cleanliness earth campaign by releasing the balloons and unfurling the flag at 07:45 am at Medical Chowk in the religious city of Hindus, Puri (Orissa).
It is noteworthy that the grand road of the religious place, Puri was almost in the form of sewerage. Sewerage water on the road was all around, which was making the condition worse. The dirty water was oozing out of sewer and spreading on entire road, which was a headache for motorists and passersby. Shopkeepers were also distressed due to it. With Guruji’s holy motivation, the volunteers cleaned up all that with their hands and shovels and set an example of rendering selfless services. Whole area was divided into zones, sectors and further into wards to successfully implement the agenda.
These campaigns are intended to clean the country so that citizens understand their duty in keeping the city clean and do not litter around. Guru Ji says regarding these drives, “Cleanliness is the essential condition for eradicating or keeping at bay diseases and ailments. Our aim is to create awareness about the need to have clean surroundings and also sensitize people about various diseases like dengue, malaria, etc, which spread due to poor sanitation.”
With Revered Guruji’s holy inspiration 12 thousand volunteers from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, U.P., Delhi, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh as well as from abroad also participated and made the whole city neat and clean within merely 4.30 hours. This awareness campaign acts as a booster or a catalyst for those who have lost their civic sense. Dera Sacha Sauda has been carrying out social welfare activities all around and regularly holding blood donation camps, plantation and cleanliness drives. It not only improves the environment but also sends the awareness message across the public at large extent. The zeal among the volunteers throngs them at every place on a single exhortation of Guruji.
District collector, Puri, Sh. Arvind Aggarwal, CMO Dr. G.R. Sahu, Municipality president Shashilata, Sub inspector town police station Shashimata, Teacher M. Khan, Sh. Rajender Pandey, administrative officers and other representatives expressed their heartfelt thanks to His Holiness Guruji for conducting the cleanliness earth campaign and inspiring others for the same.
