Kohima: Nagaland Governor PB Acharya, a brand ambassador of the 'Swachh Bharat' mission, on Monday launched the campaign by symbolically cleaning a part of the state capital in Kohima.
The Governor along with his wife Kavita Acharya, Chief Secretary Pankaj Kumar and other senior bureaucrats symbolically cleaned the Old Nagaland State Transport area in the heart of Kohima town on Monday evening.
The Governor called upon various organisations and universities in the state to come forward in constructing public toilets at important locations and discourage use of plastics and thermocol.
