Siliguri, 11th January: A cleanliness drive titled “Clean and Green Drive” was carried out on the initiative of the Salbari Sub Traffic Guard in collaboration with Save Earth for Life. The campaign saw active participation from Siliguri Metropolitan Police DCP (Traffic) Quazi Samsuddin Ahamed, traffic police personnel, and college students.
