Dharamshala, 5 June 2024: Clean Upper Dharamshala Programme (CUDP) undertaken by the Tibetan Settlement Office, Dharamshala, since from the year 1994, celebrates “World Environment Day”, which also marks the 30th year Anniversary of the organisation.

CUDP, in a powerful display of collective responsibility, joined hands with organisations such as the Tibetan Women’s Association, Lha Charity, Tibetan Conflict Resolution, Waste Warriors, and Nishta to celebrate this year’s Environment Day’s theme: Our Land Our Future.

CUDP in collaboration with different organisations such as Tibetan Women’s Association, Lha Charity, Tibetan Conflict Resolution, Waste Warriors, and Nishta, celebrates this year’s Environment day’s theme; Our Land our future which began with a cleanup at Bhagsu riverside in the morning followed by flashmob performances at Mcleod Ganj main square and Bhagsu main chowk. A human chain with awareness slogans was also formed from Mcleod Ganj main square to Bhagsu Nath. 

According to the Environment desk of the Settlement Office, “During the cleanup, we made a significant impact by removing endless plastic litters and alcohol bottles from the river side. A total of about 35 bags were filled to the brim, a clear testament to our collective efforts. We urge our people, locals, and tourists to refrain from littering such a beautiful nature spot for everyone’s benefit.” 

The day concluded with entertaining flashmob performances, lyrics about environmental awareness, and a human chain with placards to raise awareness of the environment.
