Jammu Sets a Green Benchmark on World Environment Day 2025 Citizens Unite to End Plastic Pollution

On June 5, 2025, the city of Jammu came together in a powerful demonstration of environmental responsibility and civic participation to mark World Environment Day 2025. Celebrated under the global theme “Ending Plastic Pollution”, the day became a milestone moment in the city’s journey toward sustainable urban living.

In a heartfelt and community-driven initiative, Ward No. 38 became a focal point for action. A special awareness campaign was organized at the Vending Zone, where both residents and street vendors actively engaged in discussions on waste segregation and the ban on single-use plastic (SUP). The event not only spread awareness about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution but also educated the public on the role of individual action in driving systemic change.

Simultaneously, Swachhta Pledges were taken in Ward No. 38 and Ward No. 8, reflecting a shared commitment across communities. Citizens, municipal officials, sanitation workers and volunteers pledged to make Jammu cleaner, greener and plastic-free, reinforcing the message that sustainable change begins at the grassroots level.

A notable highlight of the day was in Ward No. 8, where the groundwork for a second compost pit was initiated. This move represents a shift toward decentralized solid waste management, emphasizing composting as a practical, eco-friendly method for handling organic waste. By encouraging households to take responsibility for their own biodegradable waste, the city is setting an example for community-led composting and self-reliant waste solutions.

The success of these events was made possible through the unwavering support of the Jammu Municipal Corporation, community leaders and enthusiastic residents. By linking local action with global goals, Jammu showcased how every ward, every citizen and every small effort counts in the larger mission to protect our planet.

With this impactful observance of World Environment Day, Jammu didn’t just celebrate a date on the calendar it demonstrated its resolve to be a plastic-free, progressive and environmentally conscious city.
