2 tonnes of waste cleared at Amma Mandapam bathing ghat
Trichy City Corporation workers and volunteers cleared two tonnes of waste from the Amma Mandapam bathing ghat in preparation for the Aadi Perukku festival.
Devotees visiting the Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam traditionally take a holy dip at the Amma Mandapam Cauvery bathing ghat. It is common for them to leave behind old clothes, puja items, and plastic waste at the site.
In view of the upcoming Aadi Perukku festival, the Trichy City Corporation conducted a special cleaning drive yesterday at the ghat. Over 30 sanitation workers and volunteers cleared approximately two tonnes of solid waste, including plastic debris, from the area.
