Smart shopping: Keeping Jammu & Kashmir’s markets clean and green

Srinagar I March 18, 2025- Jammu & Kashmir is taking a step towards sustainability with a renewed focus on clean markets and eco-friendly shopping habits. The message is clear: smart shopping starts with clean surroundings

As part of the Swachh Survekshan initiative, residents and visitors are being encouraged to adopt simple yet impactful habits to maintain the pristine beauty of the region’s bustling markets. Using waste bins for proper disposal and carrying reusable cloth bags are at the heart of this green movement. These small actions aim to reduce waste, curb littering, and promote a healthier environment across Jammu & Kashmir.

“Clean markets not only enhance the shopping experience but also reflect our commitment to a greener future,” said a local official involved in the campaign. By swapping plastic bags for cloth alternatives and ensuring trash finds its way into bins, shoppers can play a vital role in preserving the natural charm of the region.

The call to action is gaining traction with the hashtag #CleanMarkets, inspiring communities to come together for a cleaner, more sustainable Jammu & Kashmir. From vibrant bazaars to roadside stalls, the vision is to make every market a shining example of environmental responsibility.
