Madikeri, Oct. 19: A new history was created in Kodagu district on Wednesday, October 15. A call was given for a cleanliness drive campaign called ‘Swachh Kodagu - Sundara Kodagu’ under the leadership of Coorg Hotels and Resorts Association.
This campaign received more than expected support from more than 300 organizations across the district, including the Kodagu District Administration, Zilla Panchayat, Kodagu Chamber of Commerce, Kodagu Homestay Association, Rotary Lions organizations, Tourism Department, Red Cross, student groups, various organizations. This is evidence that the people of Kodagu support any good concept work together.
A call was given for cleanliness across the entire district for a specific period of time. Without any discrimination, everyone joined hands and took to the streets. It was also enthusiastic in a way. However, the infiltration of Kodagu district into the natural environment has left six lakh people in the district stunned. It has also sounded a warning bell for the future.
On the roadsides, in the streets, in public areas, on the edge of the forest, in tourist spots including Devarakadu, heaps of garbage, unwanted items, liquor packets, beer bottles, and other unwanted items have been found scattered everywhere. This is not only in urban areas but also in rural areas, which has probably shocked everyone. The beautiful Kodagu has been a matter of word of mouth in recent years. But what is the infiltration? What is happening? The entire district has seen this campaign with its own eyes. This cleanliness campaign has created a dark shadow of anxiety in everyone's heart as to what situation our Kodagu is reaching. Perhaps most people are aware that the situation has deteriorated so much that they have started cleaning up....
Currently, there is no point in blaming anyone here. Many are blaming tourists. But in a way, everyone is responsible for the spread of garbage. In any case, a new awareness has begun. With Dussehra over, the district has been cleaned up for the Cauvery Sankramana. Next, the festival of lights, Diwali, is coming. It is everyone's hope that in the coming days, Kodagu district will remain as clean and beautiful as before. May the efforts of people's representatives, officials, businessmen, associations, and students not go in vain in this way...
