Nukkad Natak at Shiv Mandir Lodgement: A Real Call to Action

by:swachhjk August 4, 2025 0 Comments

Just outside the Railway Station at the Shiv Mandir Lodgement Centre, the Duggar Manch team staged a powerful street play during Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2025. More than a performance, it was a living expression of duty: segregate waste at source, ban single-use plastic and collectively uphold a clean and green pilgrimage.

It wasn’t a scripted lecture but genuine storytelling. Actors broke the fourth wall calling out to pilgrims and locals, miming the tossing of a plastic bottle, sourcing compost and depicting how small slips harm the sacred surroundings. The audience didn’t just watch, they felt caught in moments of choice. The emotion was raw and immediate, not rehearsed.

This awareness drive drew strength from unity. Alongside Duggar Manch, JMC supervisors, Swaaha executives and Tulip interns joined in distributing reusable cloth bags, guiding proper use of colored bins, and answering curious questions from onlookers. Their collective energy turned the play from a solo show into a community movement.

The performance was a practical example of Swachh Bharat Mission‑Urban 2.0’s principles:

  • Source segregation into wet, dry and hazardous waste
  • Strict elimination of single-use plastic
  • Behavioral change through public engagement

This Nukkad Natak wasn’t just theatre it was a mirror. A mirror showing pilgrims and citizens their role in keeping this sacred journey clean. It showed how even small choices like using a cloth bag or dropping paper in the right bin can preserve the piety and purity of the Yatra.

That evening, under the open sky, Duggar Manch and the entire team turned awareness into emotion, emotion into decision and decision into action. It was real. It was needed. And most importantly it was ours.
