Good to see leaders leading by example. But the real test is sustainability. Will the municipal corporation ensure regular garbage collection and fix the broken bins in my area? The drive is good, but permanent systems are better.

Absolutely right, cleanliness is a habit, not a one-day event. We teach our children in school, but at home we often throw wrappers from the car window. Time to change that mindset. Jai Hind!

As a frequent visitor to Dehradun, I've noticed a positive change over the years. The hills are our treasure, and keeping them clean is everyone's duty. Hope this spirit continues beyond the campaign week.

The CM is correct - government alone cannot do it. Our housing society started segregating waste last month and it's made a huge difference. Small steps from every household add up. Proud of Dehradun!

While the gesture is appreciated, I hope the focus is also on the smaller towns and villages in Uttarakhand. Tourist spots get all the attention, but local villages need proper waste management too. A balanced approach is needed.
