*Kullu, October 2.* The “Kullu Badlaav Ki Aur” campaign was launched with the aim of making Kullu a leading city in the country in the field of cleanliness. Kullu MLA Sunder Singh Thakur flagged off sanitation vehicles to launch a special waste management campaign in the city.
On this occasion, MLA Sunder Singh Thakur said that the systemic change underway in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu is now visible on the ground in the field of cleanliness. To strengthen the sanitation system in Kullu city, the Municipal Council has signed an agreement with Lord Shiva Enterprises, which will handle waste management in the city.
He said that Kullu is a major tourist destination in the state and attracts a large number of tourists from both India and abroad.
