The Seva Parv, being observed from September 17 to October 2, will include a series of activities focused on cleanliness drives, plantation, health camps, awareness programmes, and citizen engagement initiatives in every district of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Lt Governor also prayed for peace, prosperity, and well-being of all citizens, and called upon youth, community groups, and volunteers to actively participate in the campaign.

The walk was flagged off by SDM Katra, Piyush Dhotra, in the presence of the officials, local residents, and pilgrims.

Participants retraced the historic path that has been followed by devotees for centuries, highlighting its spiritual, cultural, and heritage value.

Cleanliness drives and health camps are much needed in pilgrimage sites. Hope this isn't just a one-time event but leads to sustainable improvements in facilities for devotees.

While the initiative sounds good, I hope the government ensures proper implementation and doesn't just stop at ceremonial launches. Real change requires consistent follow-through and accountability.

The timing from September 17 to October 2 covering Gandhi Jayanti is thoughtful. Combining spiritual values with Gandhian principles of service - brilliant concept that resonates with Indian ethos.
