“Unless cleanliness becomes a habit for the citizens, no change is possible,” Dabi stated, reinforcing her belief in community participation as essential to the campaign’s success.

As the drive gains momentum, locals are encouraged to join in and contribute to making Barmer a cleaner, healthier place for all.
