A statewide cleanliness campaign was started on Sunday by the Uttar Pradesh government and several organisations. It will run until January 22, which is the day of the Ayodhya Ram temple’s consecration ceremony.

Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, participated in the campaign in Ayodhya, while other ministers and public figures participated in other locations.

“On the call of respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, a major cleanliness campaign was started from Shri Ayodhya Dham today. On this occasion, vehicles related to garbage disposal and cleanliness were also flagged off. We are dedicated to keeping the divinity and sanctity of Navya Ayodhya intact,” the chief minister posted on X.
