Following Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s appeal for a nationwide cleanliness drive on October 1, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister of Housing & Urban Affairs and Petroleum and Natural Gas, participated in the ‘Shramdaan for Cleanliness’ programme as part of the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign here today. The minister led the cleanliness drive at Princess Park on Copernicus Marg, New Delhi. Sanitation workers, students, residents of the area along with senior officials from Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs joined the drive.
In a post on the social media platform ‘X’, the Minister said, “inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji’s call for Swachhata Hi Seva, joined residents of the temporary settlement at Princess Park on Copernicus Marg for one hour of Shramdaan for a Garbage Free India.”
Earlier this month, during the 105th episode of Mann ki Baat, PM Shri Narendra Modi had requested that all citizens participate in “one hour of shramdaan for swachhata” on October 1, referring to it as a tribute (‘swachhanjali’) to Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of his birth anniversary.
