The students of Cascia High school cleaned the wall surrounding Cascia High school and the adjoining drains. Members of Nivedita Balaga removed the dirt & sand lying on both sides of the road and was posing problems to pedestrians & motorists alike. The students of S Madhusudan Kushe visited homes door to door distributing the handbills on awareness.

The space earmarked for footpath in front of Cascia high school had become place to dump garbage due to poor maintenance. Neither the students nor the pedestrians could use the road due to this menace. The place also was stinking. Hence for the past 2 days, efforts were on to remove the dumped garbage using tipper. About 4 loads of dumped garbage and dirt were removed from the spot. Today Interlock tiles were laid in that spot to create a footpath. In the coming days, flowering plants will be planted.
