The cleaning initiative commenced from the junction to the Block Development Office in Mawkyrwat and concluded at the office of the Superintendent of Fisheries in Laitlawsang.
Over 300 volunteers, including officers and staff from various departments in Mawkyrwat, actively participated in the drive.
