Speaking on the occasion, the Governor said, “People of the two States should take an active part in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and make India clean by 2019. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a call on Independence Day to every citizen to strive to make India clean. The aim is to build a clean India by October 2, 2019. The Prime Minister had asked everyone to take a vow in this regard. Clean India would not be possible with one or two individuals and it should be a collective effort,” the Governor said.
