Assam Chief Minister launches own cleanliness drive

  • 5 years ago
Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi today launched the Poriskar Aru Xeuj Axom Xojagota Abhijan, a weeklong programme to create awareness among people about making the environment clean and green.

Inaugurating the campaign at the auditorium of Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra here, Gogoi said he was not following in the footsteps of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in launching the cleanliness drive.

“Inspired by Mahatma Gandhiji, I joined Kalyani Sangha when I was a student way back in 1951 and swept the Sweepers’ Colony in Jorhat,” he said. “When I became the chief minister, I wielded the broom and swept the streets of Guwahati during the Clean Guwahati Campaign in 2012. Then I took part in the Clean Assam Campaign that kicked off in Guwahati on October 5.”
