WORLD YOUTH DAY

- AMITAVA BANERJEE

DARJEELING: It's now going to be "Feet run, Hands clean and Hearts unite" in Darjeeling as a people-powered movement takes off on the occasion of International Youth Day to "restore the beauty of Darjeeling through cleanliness".

Named the 'Mero Darjeeling' (My Darjeeling) programme, the initiative is spearheaded by the VikRun Foundation in collaboration with the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) and Darjeeling Municipality. It is based on the eco-friendly fitness activity plogging—a concept that originated in Sweden combining jogging with picking up litter. The term blends "jogging" with the Swedish "plocka upp" (pick up).
