Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday launched the state-level ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ programme at Rabindra Bhavan on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking during the event, Saha said a series of programmes has been lined up from September 17 to October 2 as part of the celebrations.
“We have decided to celebrate the occasion through a Swachh Utsav. Modi launched the Swachhata Abhiyan on October 2, 2014, and today it has evolved into a massive people’s movement,” Saha said.
“A beautiful environment will be created only if we maintain cleanliness. In this regard, everyone will have to work with the perspective of social responsibility,” the chief minister said.
He also lauded the efforts of the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) in ensuring proper waste disposal and maintaining cleanliness.
The CM exhorted people not only to keep their surroundings clean, but also purify their hearts and inner selves to build a clean society.
