Over 9.2 lakh sites host cleanliness drive; PM appeals for swachhata

More than 9.2 lakh sites across the country hosted a mega cleanliness drive on Sunday in which people from across the spectrum, including politicians, celebrities, and students participated. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also took part in this cleanliness drive along with fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuria.

“Today, as the nation focuses on Swachhata (cleanliness), Ankit Baiyanpuriya and I did the same! Beyond just cleanliness, we blended fitness and well-being also into the mix. It is all about that Swachh and Swasth Bharat (clean and healthy India) vibe,” Mr Modi posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The post was accompanied by a video which shows Mr. Modi and Mr. Baiyanpuriya wielding brooms and cleaning and picking up trash.
