*Sawjian, Poonch, June 5, 2024* — Model Higher Secondary School Sawjian celebrated World Environment Day in a unique and impactful manner by organizing a Cleanliness Drive at the tourist destinations Nehrian and Rangawar in the border area of Sawjian, Poonch. Under the guidance and supervision of Principal Anwar Khan, 160 students and 22 staff members participated in the drive, covering a two-kilometer area.
The event not only focused on cleaning but also on raising awareness about the importance and relevance of World Environment Day. The participants interacted with locals, informing them about environmental conservation.
