GUWAHATI, June 23 - As per its campaign for a clean, eco-friendly and plastic-free Kamakhya temple campus, NGO Voice of Environment (VoE) today organised a programme in the old jail campus at Fancy Bazar where a large number of devotees for the ongoing Ambubachi Mela are camping.
�We conducted awareness activities among the devotees, visitors and sadhus for a clean and hygienic environment during the festivities. We are organising a mass sensitisation awareness programme supported by the Kamakhya temple authorities on the temple premises and at the camps for the devotees,� an NGO spokesperson said.
The awareness campaign was conducted in the presence of devotees, police officers, village defence personnel, SDRF, DDMA and Kamrup Metro district administration officials.
