Mijan Akanda, Phulpur: A cleanliness campaign was held in Phulpur municipality on Saturday morning with a call for people to develop everyday habits that help keep their surroundings clean and healthy.

The campaign began at around 11:00am in the Hospital Road area of Phulpur. Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Sadhana Tripura led the campaign, which was organised by Phulpur Municipality.

Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Municipal Administrator Md. Shafiqul Islam supervised the programme overall. Municipal Engineer Mahmudul Islam, Administrative Officer Golam Mostafa, Accounts Officer Raihan Kaiser Jewel, Bangladesh Khilafat Majlish Upazila Vice-President Azharul Islam and local residents took part in the campaign.

The participants cleaned public areas and encouraged residents to take greater responsibility for maintaining cleanliness in their homes, roads and neighbourhoods.

The campaign carried the slogan, “Let’s Change Our Habits: Wherever I Am, I Keep It Clean.” The message was aimed at encouraging people of all ages to make cleanliness a regular part of their daily lives rather than treating it as an occasional activity.

Local residents welcomed the initiative, saying that such campaigns can help raise public awareness and inspire greater community participation in keeping Phulpur clean.

The organisers emphasised that maintaining a clean environment is a shared responsibility. Regular waste disposal, avoiding littering and collective efforts by residents can contribute significantly to healthier and more livable communities.

The campaign in Phulpur therefore sought not only to clean public spaces but also to encourage a lasting change in people`s attitudes and habits toward cleanliness.
