Allahabad | Monday | 25th February, 2019

Summary:

For me, the sanitary workers are real sewak and tapasvi,” he said.Outlining the huge effort it took to organise the Mela, the PM said: “It was even difficult to imagine the effort with over 20,000 dustbins and over one lakh toilets, but these sanitary workers have played their role in a very impressive way.” Keeping the mela area clean was a mammoth task but these people performed their duties sincerely. He was very soft spoken and told us that he will wash our feet. He then washed and wiped our feet and felicitated us with ‘angavastram’. “They have become a source of inspiration across the world for working with dedication,” he added.“Every individual finds some unforgettable moment during his life but for me, interacting with sanitary workers is a treasured experience which I will not forget in my life,” said Modi..
