Use Swachhata App to make Imphal No 1 for Swachh Survekshan 2018

Mahatma Gandhi said, “ The lethargy of government has for too long allowed us to be inured to unhygienic spaces outside our immediate homes, although every Indian must accept the blame for his own slovenliness in public spaces.

The time for action began the minute the photo opportunities with politicians and bureaucrats got over.
