More than 5,000 NLC India Limited (NLCIL) employees, workmen, students, CISF personnel and community members joined a mass cleaning drive at Neyveli under the Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 campaign.

The programme was flagged off at 7 am at Anna Thidal, Block-17, Neyveli Township, by Samir Swarup, Director (HR) and Director (Power) Addl. Charge, in the presence of Rajesh Pratap Singh Sisodia, Director (P&P), NLCIL.

The drive brought together employees and workmen from NLCIL’s industrial and service units, representatives of recognised trade unions, Engineers & Officers’ Associations, Welfare Federations representing SC/ST, OBC & ST, along with Indcoserve, Howsicos, contract workers, CISF personnel, teachers, school students and members of the public.

He also welcomed the participation of school students, saying their involvement reflected growing awareness of cleanliness and civic responsibility among the younger generation.

Following the flag-off, participants carried out cleaning activities at various locations across Neyveli Township. The large participation reflected a collective effort to maintain cleaner and healthier surroundings.
