Noted sports personality Shri Sachin Tendulkar wrote a letter to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in which he applauded the Prime Minister on the launch of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan and committed to contributing towards Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan to realize the dream of a Clean India. The noted cricketer thanked the Prime Minister for inviting him to be a part of this movement. It may be recalled that on 2nd October Shri Tendulkar was invited by the PM to join the ‘Clean India Campaign.’
Shri Tendulkar also shared his recent experience of cleaning a footpath stretch at the Bandra Reclamation in Mumbai. Shri Tendulkar wrote about how the stretch he identified was being littered with garbage and dirt. He pointed that he and his team went early in the morning on 4th October to clean the stretch and succeeded in cleaning the litter after over two hours.
At the same time, Shri Tendulkar and his team cleared the garbage and litter that was dumped, painted the walls and also worked with civic authorities to place some benches, plants and solar lamps.
The noted sportsperson expressed delight at the manner in which the local tea seller encouraged the team with tea and how locals too added their strength to the cleaning efforts.
Shri Modi has appreciated the effort of Shri Tendulkar on social media and has asked youngsters to get inspired by the efforts of the sporting legend.
