Today’s event at Charminar is part of a series of such activities aimed at instilling a sense of responsibility and pride among citizens.
The cleanliness drive saw NTPC employees raising slogans about swachhta, which attracted a lot of public attention.
The enthusiastic participation of bystanders, who joined in the efforts, was a testament to the impact such initiatives can have on the community.
The event not only served as a practical effort to clean a historic site but also as a catalyst for behavioral change among the public.
