PASIGHAT, May 5:The sanitation wing holds the highest public importance and is the backbone of the Pasighat Municipal Council (PMC), stated the Chief Councilor Kaling Doruk while attending the “Fortnightly Swachchta Drive cum Felicitation program”, here today at the PMC conference hall.  

Doruk said, sanitary staffers attend and redress complaints of general public of the densely populated city like Pasighat every day with limited resources and ensure clean, hygienic and pollution free environment to the general public. He mentioned about the significance of cleanliness and observing the said drive and praised the untiring efforts of MEO A.Koyu, councilors, officers and staff for successfully observing the drive under Swachch Bharat Mission (SBM).

He expressed hope that denizens would play an active role in this drive going forward and turn it into a mass movement.
