Uttar Pradesh's Water Resources Minister led a cleanliness drive at Mandakini River in Chitrakoot on Sunday, removing approximately three truckloads of waste during the hour-long initiative. The minister was joined by junior Water Resources Minister Ramkesh Nishad and local BJP leaders in manually extracting water hyacinths and debris from the river.

The cleanup forms part of a two-day interstate program extending from Sati Anusuya to Rajapur along the UP-Madhya Pradesh border.
