Minsk, October 26 (Xinhua) — A nationwide cleanup day was held across Belarus last Saturday. During the event, Belarusians, both as part of work collectives and independently, cleaned up monuments and memorial complexes from the Great Patriotic War, as well as public facilities, and landscaped their neighborhoods.
According to Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Natalia Petkevich, preliminary data from the national cleanup day raised approximately 19.4 million Belarusian rubles, which is almost 3 million Belarusian rubles more than the cleanup day held on April 12 of this year.
"Around 2.3 million people took part in the cleanup day across the country. This was the first time we've held two national cleanup days in a year. It's gratifying that, despite the rainy weather, a large number of people participated in this event," the press service of the Council of Ministers of Belarus quotes N. Petkevich as saying.
According to her, 50 percent of the proceeds from the event will be used to build the National History Museum of Belarus and create its permanent exhibition. The remaining 50 percent will be allocated to regional executive committees across the country and the Minsk City Executive Committee for local matters.
