The Keyi Panyor district administration has intensified its cleanliness and public awareness drive along the NH-13 corridor leading to Ziro Valley ahead of the Ziro Festival of Music (ZFM) 2026, scheduled from September 24 to 27.

As part of the drive, a mass social service was conducted on Monday across markets and adjoining areas of Potin, Yazali, Yachuli and Joram in convergence with the Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) 2026 campaign.

Executive Engineer, Urban Development (UD), Er Tai Kalley, and Assistant Engineer, UD, Yachuli, Er Smith Taba, along with their teams, carried out garbage collection and disposal along the NH-13 stretch from Anya Gate, Potin, bordering Papum Pare, to Anya Gate, Joram, bordering Lower Subansiri.

Market Welfare Committees, shopkeepers and Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) members actively participated in the drive, reflecting community involvement in maintaining cleanliness and the overall appearance of the NH-13 corridor.

The district administration has urged business establishments, market committees, local communities, PRI members and the general public to sustain the spirit of “Swachhata Hi Seva” and collectively maintain Keyi Panyor as a clean, safe and welcoming gateway for visitors travelling to Ziro during ZFM 2026.
