On a festival holiday, Indore's usual sanitation crew took a break while local officials and citizens cleaned the city’s streets themselves, showcasing a community habit of cleanliness.
Indore, a city renowned for its daily cleanliness drives, witnessed an unusual scene on Sunday when the municipal sanitation workers observed a holiday. Instead of the usual sweepers, local officials and residents took up brooms and dustpans to keep the streets tidy.
The community effort was visible across major thoroughfares, with volunteers clearing litter and sweeping sidewalks, turning a day off for workers into a collective civic activity.
City authorities praised the initiative, noting that it reflects a growing culture where cleanliness is seen as a shared responsibility rather than a task assigned only to sanitation staff.
The spontaneous clean‑up underscores Indore's commitment to maintaining its reputation as one of India's cleanest cities, even on festive occasions.
