Hyderabad: The GHMC is leaving no stone unturned in creating awareness among the citizens about the Swachh Telangana-Swachh Hyderabad programme.
Nearly 550 artistes from 10 districts of Telangana and employees of the Samskruthika Sarathi are participating in the awareness drive. The artistes have turned to age-old techniques like Dappu to call on people to participate.
They have been divided into 50 teams that are travelling across all 425 sections in special taxis and performing to song and dance programmes.
Over 30,000 CDs with eight songs — on Telangana, Hyderabad and how it became polluted and what can be done to fix it — have been distributed to autorickshaw drivers, taxi drivers and small hotel managements.
“The idea is to make the songs reach the public. All these artistes had once created awareness for a separate Telangana state. Now they are creating awareness about creation of a better state and the public’s role in it,” said TRS MLA Rasamayi Balakishan, the chairman of Samskruthika Sarathi.
