Mangalore, October 22: The Mangalore City Corporation in association with Suvarna Kanrnataka, Mangalore, on Monday launched a campaign on city cleanliness and destitute rehabilitation centre.

Inaugurating the publicity vehicle of the campaign, in front of Town Hall in the city, Mangalore Mayor Gulzar Banu urged the public to join hands with civic body to make the city clean and beautiful.

Speaking on the occasion, president of Suvarna Karnataka, Mangalore, N P Shenoy said that around 500 to 600 homeless destitute sleep under open sky in places like bus stands, railway stations, parks and on the streets in this coastal city.

This leads to rise in problems and hampering the beautification of the city. Hence it is necessary to spread awareness among the people on night shelters for the homeless. The campaign vehicle will go around the city at night and help the homeless in getting to the night shelter, he said.

He said that a lone temporary night shelter existed in the city, which would be soon made permanent, abiding the order passed by Supreme Court that the homeless should not sleep on the streets.

He said that cleanliness should be given more focus in the city. It is not just the work of the corporation or its council members. Only if each citizen of the city comes forward and does his bit, can the campaign be truly successful. Citizens' support and cooperation is necessary, he said.

Secretary of Suvarna Karnataka, Mangalore, N K Pai welcomed the gathering. Deputy Mayor Amithakala, corporator Sulekha and Chittaranjan Das were present on the occasion.
