Youth start ‘Green Neighbourhood’ drive

RAWALPINDI:

Youth from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad consolidated ‘Green Neighbourhood’ initiative on Friday in a virtual consultative meeting of the Islamabad Devcom Centennial Leo Club (IDCLC). Objective of the initiative is to engage young people and their families and friends to add value to the ongoing campaigns of clean and green cities. Speaking about the concept of ‘Green Neighbourhood’, the IDCLC President Haares Munir said, Green Neighborhood means that the young citizens and their families and friends would be engaged to take care of their neighbourhood by keeping it clean from littering, domestic solid waste and flowing out sewage. The clean part of the initiative also includes personal hygiene including regular handwashing and safe water and sanitation messages. Environmentalist Mome Saleem appreciated youth for chalking out a citizens’ centric initiative to improve local environment.
