To accord with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for temple cleanliness, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has asked district collectors to spearhead a quick cleanliness initiative across the state's temples. The goal is to noticeably improve cleanliness and embellish temples with electric lights within a week of the Lord Ram temple's consecration on January 22, a report in PTI stated.
According to the report, Shinde emphasised the need for fast action during a review meeting convened by him at his official house on Sunday. Each district's District Planning and Development Council (DPDC) has been pushed to give cash for regular temple cleaning, with Shinde proposing a unique system.
