New Delhi (thestates.news) | The Ministry of Minority Affairs observed Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 in New Delhi, today in the presence of Union Minister of Minority Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Kiren Rijiju. The programme included a Swachhata Pledge, Shramdaan and a tree plantation drive.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Rijiju emphasised that cleanliness must be treated as a continuous responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. He said that while existing waste needs to be cleaned, equal emphasis must be placed on creating awareness so that people do not litter in the first place. He further stressed that cleanliness is a collective responsibility and should not be viewed as the responsibility of sanitation workers alone.(s-pib)
