DIMAPUR — Amid uproar from various religious organisations and other bodies in Nagaland over the call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a one-hour nationwide cleanliness drive on October 1, which falls on a Sunday, the state government has announced that the social work would be carried out across the state on September 30.
The Home department, Government of Nagaland, announced this in an office memorandum on Wednesday.
It said that the mega cleanliness drive will be organised at 10 am on Saturday, instead of the designated October 1, on account of the day falling on a Sunday.
