Through this initiative the hospital also aims to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the sanitation workers, who work relentlessly to ensure a clean neighbourhood for citizens. Bhabesh Baruah, a student from KC Das Commerce College said �the entire Satribari stretch comprises of a school, college and hospital. It is disheartening that despite constant movement of large number of students and patients concrete measures were not being taken to clear the filth in the area. We are grateful to the hospital for taking a firm step in this direction.�
