Imphal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today tweeted his appreciation after champion boxer Mary Kom cleaned up a road in Manipur capital Imphal as part of his "Swachh Bharat" or Clean India mission.
"Swachh Bharat Mission will get a great impetus by Mary Kom joining the Mission in Imphal. #MyCleanIndia," PM Modi tweeted.
The Olympic medalist was seen sweeping a street and hefting dirt this morning. She is part of the "chain" started by PM Modi when he launched his cleanliness drive on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary on October 2. Mary Kom was nominated by industrialist Anil Ambani, who was one of the nine people nominated by the prime minister to propagate his mission.
"Our Prime Minister has organised Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, it is a cleanliness drive for everywhere in the country. It is a good cause. I am very happy that Anil Ambani nominated me," she said.
