With the theme ‘I Love My City – A Green City’, the event aimed to educate children about environmental protection and encourage their active participation in initiatives to beautify their surroundings. An official stated that the fashion contest was a highlight, with children from the district showcasing their creativity by designing attire from plastic bags, empty bottles, paper, newspapers, and bottle caps.
