On Thursday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde arrived at the Girgaon Chowpatty in Mumbai to participate in the 'Swachhata hi Seva' drive.
As part of the campaign, he was seen collecting waste in garbage bags. Shinde, hailing the cleanliness initiative launched by the Prime Minister, said, "The Swacchata Abhiyan that has been started today will continue
till 2nd October. Mumbai Corporation has started the deep clean drive. This helps in the reduction of pollution and increases cleanliness. We will identify the black spots where garbage is deposited. We are able to see the benefits of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan which was started by PM Modi in 2014. People have become aware of cleanliness and we should ensure that our locality and roads are clean."
