Punjab Minister Launches 10-Day Cleanliness Drive From Nangal
Punjab has started a cleanliness campaign lasting 10 days.
It began in Nangal and will end on September 7.

Government officials, elected representatives, sanitation workers, NGOs and residents will help.
People can take pictures of garbage spots and send them through the M-Seva app.
Each complaint gets a special number so people can check what happens to it.
