Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Mount Abu

Mount Abu is actively working towards the Clean Indian Mission, striving to uphold the slogan. Cleanliness is close to god. I’m sure the Gods are pleased to see an all-out effort being taken by the administration and the local Abuites to live up to the dream of Swachh Bharat.
I’m thankful to the chairman, Mr Suresh Thinger and his team under Shankar, who landed up outside my Abode with a JCB to clean the stream that was in a pitiful state. The pristine stream over the last decade or so had silted up and looked more like a gutter than a stream.
This is the first time that someone from the administration noticed the pathetic state of our streams.
They have reduced all our streams in Abu to gutters, as it has clogged the natural flow due to miniature dams being erected to preserve the rainwater. The water bodies that were constructed are now filled with silt and debris, making them irrelevant. No dredging plans have ever been in effect, leaving these places silted over with no rainwater. I believe that all these so-called rain harvesting efforts by the administration be put aside and removed from the embankments so that in our small hill station normality returns and no flooding occurs in this Abode.

A few snaps of today Ever so grateful to the Abu Administrative.
