The initiative was geared towards ensuring proper disposal of waste generated by meat and chicken businesses and maintaining hygienic conditions in the bustling markets.
The event witnessed the distribution of 50 specially designated dustbins to meat and chicken business operators across Ward No. 9, 16, and 35. The program unfolded in the presence of esteemed dignitaries, including Gopal Dass Gupta, the Hon'ble Chairman of the Swachh Bharat Standing Committee, JMC, and Hardeep Singh Mankotia, the Ex-Chairman of the Swachh Bharat Standing Committee.

In his address, he fervently called for the collaboration of business operators with the JMC to fulfill the vision of the Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign.
Suneet Raina, in a proactive move, proposed the initiation of evening auto services dedicated to the collection and disposal of waste generated by meat and chicken shops across Jammu city. This suggestion, if implemented, could play a pivotal role in further streamlining waste management practices.
