Vadodara residents create record for most people sweeping street
The city was adjudged the 10th cleanest in India and the record is a commitment to make it cleaner
Keeping our surroundings cleans has been a long-standing civic duty of the people but not many people really follow for reasons unknown. However, the citizens of Vadodara recently did an unbelievable act that may just be inspired by The Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and they ended up creating a new record.
According to a report, the residents of Vadodara along with the Municipal Corporation came together to sweep the bridge that connects Akota with Dandia Bazaar over a one-kilometre stretch. Around 5,058 people joined to create the record with their broomsticks in hand and swept the area in groups of 50 to make it cleaner than before.
Interestingly, Vadodara was the 10th cleanest city in the country and the people decided to celebrate the feat as well as make a commitment to become the cleanest city in the world next year. It was also a tribute to the Prime Minister and his campaign for a clean country.
