Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann went LIVE on social media from Sultanpur Lodhi to mark the 25th anniversary of the sacred Kali Bein river’s clean-up drive, also known as the kar seva. 

Bhagwant Mann Goes LIVE from Sultanpur 

“On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the sacred Kali Bein’s kar seva, I am going LIVE from Sultanpur Lodhi,” Bhagwant Mann tweeted in Punjabi and Hindi. 

The Kali Bein, a spiritually significant river in Sikh history—associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji—is at the heart of a community-driven ecological revival effort that began 25 years ago. The kar seva (voluntary service) movement, started by environmentalist and social activist Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal, transformed the once-polluted rivulet into a symbol of ecological and spiritual rejuvenation.

Bhagwant Mann’s presence at the anniversary event underscores the state government’s continued support for environmental causes rooted in cultural heritage. During the live session, Mann praised the efforts of volunteers, religious leaders, and citizens who contributed to the revival of the river.

The event saw participation from devotees, environmentalists, and schoolchildren, with cultural performances, spiritual discourses, and exhibitions showcasing the river’s journey from neglect to revival.

The Kali Bein Clean-up Background

The Kali Bein clean-up began in 2000, led by Sant Seechewal with support from local communities. It has since become a model of ecological restoration and spiritual duty, often cited as a success story in environmental activism.

Bhagwant Mann’s live address aimed to raise awareness about maintaining the sanctity of natural water bodies while reinforcing Punjab’s cultural and environmental values.
