Around 2,000 volunteers remove 75 tonnes of non-biodegradable waste from Indus River
The Statesman Delhi
|August 14, 2025
More than 75 tonnes of non-biodegradable waste have been removed from the Indus River in Leh within hours of the launch of the "Singe Tsangspo Tsangde Lasgul" (Mission Indus Clean-Up), which was witnessing a remarkable display of community spirit and environmental commitment in Ladakh.
Besides, the drive to clean the Indus has also been launched in other parts of Ladakh, where volunteers were removing plastic debris, metal scraps, and other pollutants from the waterways.
In the Leh town, the volunteers were focusing on the Leh Stream—a 13.94 km waterway flowing from Gangles to Abi Spang before joining the Indus—along with adjoining nallahs and feeder streams. The effort not only rejuvenated stretches of the Leh Stream but also demonstrated how coordinated citizen action can protect Ladakh's fragile mountain ecosystem.

A gift that addresses global challenges
On 26 November, India celebrated Constitution Day, a day to commemorate the adoption of its foundational legal document in 1949. This Constitution is a remarkable blend of borrowed features and indigenous wisdom, a living document that accommodates diversity and promotes inclusivity. At its core lies an inherent spirit of mediation and peaceful coexistence, deeply influenced by the ethical framework of Mahatma Gandhi and India's ancient civilizational ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family). Understanding this spirit is crucial, as it offers a potent, indigenous model for addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century.
