Personnel and families of paramilitary CISF will join the 'Swatchh Bharat' movement tomorrow by launching a large-scale cleanliness drive at its 312 working units and other locations spread across the country.
The force will initiate a host of activities to join the Prime Minister's clean India initiative being held across the length and breadth of the country to mark Gandhi Jayanti.
"Force chief Arvind Ranjan has urged all the officers and force personnel to actively participate in the clean India mission both individually and organisationally to the best of our capacity for the noble cause," Central Industrial Security Force spokesperson Hemendra Singh said.
The spokesperson said the day will start with a pledge/oath that will be taken by all officers and men at 0930 AM at all CISF units like airports, industrial complexes and the Delhi Metro in the national capital region.
"All units will start cleaning drive in all the area of office, duty post, residential complexes, other establishments among other under close supervision of unit Commanders," Singh said.
Singh said each working unit of the force will adopt one school to undertake cleanliness drive through 'shramdan' by CISF personnel.
"The schools to be adopted in the first phase will be the schools functioning in CISF campuses or PSU schools," he said.
Families of CISF personnel have also been encouraged to carry out similar activities in their houses and surrounding areas and the wives welfare association of the 1.45-lakh personnel strong force will also join them in the activity which will be reviewed on a weekly basis.
The CISF, which is mandated to provide security to country's critical infrastructure as its primary task, has 312 working units, ten Reserve Battalions and seven training Institutes and several sector, zonal and group headquarters spread in all parts of the country.
