KATHMANDU, JUN 05 -

In order to mark the World Environment Day on June 5, groups run by people with disabilities (PWDs) organised a cleaning programme at Jorpati on Saturday morning.

About 40 people with disabilities, along with 12 helpers, cleaned the street in Jorpati. The programme was organised jointly by Asthabakra Saving and Credit Cooperative Limited, Spinal Cord Injury Khelkud Sangh, Balbalika ko Lagi Pariwarik Herchaha Bidhyalaya and Khagendra Nawa Jiwan Kendra with the theme “Let us keep our surroundings cleaner and healthier by managing garbage in a proper way”.

Sarswati Chaulagain, the cooperative treasurer, said they want to make people, through this effort, learn that PWDs are also concerned about sanitation and hygienic environment.
