Correspondent
SIVASAGAR, Aug 24 – Mission Green Sivasagar (MGS), an initiative of Sivasagar district administration to turn Sivasagar into a tourist hot-spot, received a major fillip on Saturday with more than 5000 citizens taking part in “Run-Sivasagar-Run”, a mass jogging programme organised at Sivasagar town to generate public awareness.
The run was flagged off by Sivasagar Deputy Commissioner SS Meenakshi Sundaram. In his inaugural speech, Sundaram said that Mission Green Sivasagar is a society which works for the protection, preservation and promotion of nature, ecology as well as historical legacy in the district. Stating that a clean and green Sivasagar has every potential to draw hordes of national and international tourists to the district, the DC urged mass voluntary services in implementation of the activities of the mission.

Starting from Boarding Playground, the run passed through important squares of Sivasagar town including Mukti Nath Chariali, Central Market, JP Agarwalla Road, Temple Road, Bata Chariali, Dol Mukh Chariali, Hospital Road, ASTC and Boarding Road. The theme song of the Mission, “Ringiai ji kole, joydole Sivodole, Rongghare Talatale”, composed by popular artist Ajit Kumar Bordoloi gave a momentum to the run. The run was well represented by people from all walks of life of the town.
