As part of Puneet Sagar Abhiyaan, ENC has dedicated one day each month to undertake coastal cleanup activity including cleanup of rivers and lakes. The Coastal Cleanup activities for July 2023 were undertaken at Yarada, Ram Krishna, Jalaripeta, Bheemili Beaches, VudaPark to East Point Light, Meghadripeta River Channel, Sea front and Harbour waters along Jetty on 15 Jul 2023. The aim of cleanup activities is to create awareness amongst the local communities regarding hazards of plastic usage and its impact on oceans and rivers. More than 700 service personnel along with their families and DSC personnel of ENC, and local residents participated in cleanup drives at coastal areas spread across the city. Approximately 1000 Kg of non-biodegradable waste including plastic bottles, wrappers, thermocol, glass pieces etc, were collected from these sites towards restoring pristine conditions.
