Keeping in line with the Prime Minister’s Swachh Bharat Mission, waste management vehicles were provided to 12 villages during an event held at Chirao village on Sunday. International kabaddi player Pradeep Narwal, chief general manager of Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) Ravikant Arya and other guests handed over the keys of these vehicles to the representatives of the gram panchayats. The event was organised by cricketer and former IPL player Sumit Narwal.

On the occasion, Pradeep emphasised that every citizen should take necessary steps to fulfil the Swachh Bharat Mission. He said cleanliness should begin at home, within families, societies, and villages, reiterating the belief that where there is cleanliness, there is divinity.

Addressing the gathering, he urged people to follow basic cleanliness practices and ensure that waste was not disposed of in open areas. Instead, he advised people to utilise government-provided waste collection vehicles.

Ravikant Arya said the Swachh Bharat Mission had been operational for several years, and PM Modi had successfully awakened the nation's consciousness towards cleanliness. He stressed that the mission must continue until India was declared fully clean.

Event coordinator Sumit expressed hope that the sarpanches of these 12 villages would make the best use of the facility. He urged all villages to work towards making their areas waste-free.
