To further propagate the message of cleanliness, the CMD flagged off a specially designed tableau, the 'Swachhta Rath.'

On this occasion the CMD said, “MCL remains committed to contributing to the national objective of a clean and green India and encourages all its stakeholders to actively participate in “Swachhta Pakhwara-2024” to make this initiative a grand success.”
