Sant Nirankari Mandal, Rishikesh Branch (Uttrakhand), held a cleanliness drive to remove pollution from the bank of river Ganges on 25.09.2010 at Triveni Ghat. Volunteers of Sant Nirankari Sewa Dal in their uniform and other saints participated in the cleanliness process along with Ganga Sewa Samiti.

Due to rise in water level of Ganges, the water had reached various tourist places, forming sand dunes all around. Sewadal volunteers including children, young and old, contributed in making the environment beautiful by removing all the sand dunes. In all, 250 sewadal volunteers led by Shri Harish Banga, Parmukh, Sant Nirankari Mandal Rishikesh Branch participated in this cleanliness drive.
