School children participated in a catwalk based on the 3R theme and created attractive paintings giving cleanliness messages.
Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava said that while last year citizens posted selfies with their toilets, this year Indore had gone a step further and started a new tradition of ‘toilet get-together’.
The mayor said, “People organize get-togethers in gardens, hotels or other places, but in Indore, we build new toilets and dedicate them to the public, fulfilling our responsibility for their cleanliness. This year’s get-together was organized with the message that providing toilets and keeping them clean is our collective responsibility.”
