Mangaluru: In a commendable effort towards environmental conservation, the members of Yuvana Trust conducted a large-scale beach clean-up drive at Chitrapura today. Sponsored by The Sunidhi Foundation Trust, Manipal, and supported by Panambur-Kulai Mogaveera Mahasabha, the drive saw enthusiastic participation from over 40 volunteers who joined hands to clear the area of waste.

Volunteers collected a truckload of trash, including plastic, footwear, and bottles, which was later picked up by the local municipality for disposal. In a statement, the organizers emphasized the need for basic civic responsibility among citizens, noting that while Artificial Intelligence is the current trend, simple actions like proper waste disposal can make a substantial difference.

“Humans are a part of the environment and not above it,” said a spokesperson, highlighting the importance of respecting and protecting natural spaces.

To maintain cleanliness, Yuvana Trust has placed two dustbins at the beach, urging visitors to use them instead of littering. The organization also encouraged the public to participate in future initiatives, underscoring their commitment to a cleaner, healthier coastline.
