Shillong, October 01:
Governor Dr SS Sidhu has greeted the people of Manipur on the occasion of National Cleanliness Day which is being observed all over the country tomorrow in connection with the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
In his message, Dr Sidhu said Gandhiji attached great importance to cleanliness, for it is a necessity for healthy living.
Every year various diseases claimed heavy toll of lives, more particularly in the slum areas.
Hence, we must keep our houses, roads, parks and premises clean, he said.
However, he hastened to add that the task of cleaning our houses, shops, roads, premises, surrounding, etc, should not be confined to a particular function or occasion, but it should be made a regular feature.
