Our (LocalPress.in) Opinion
The NMMC Commissioner, Abhijit Bangar, has taken a progressive step towards community involvement by including the citizens of Navi Mumbai in the Swachhata Survekshan Awards. It will bear results for sure. However, it becomes imperative that local residents consider the city as their home and strive towards it’s cleanliness on your own will. They need to understand their own responsibilities, especially now, during the ongoing pandemic.
Keep the city clean for yourself and not just an award!
