 Call it the PM effect. A police station in the heart of the capital was meticulously cleaned by a team from Sulabh International after a surprise inspection by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning.

PM Modi was on his way to the Valmiki Basti, a colony that houses sanitation workers, nearby when he suddenly stopped his car and walked into the Mandir Marg police station in central Delhi.

 

The parking lot was littered with garbage. The PM picked up a broom and tackled it for nearly 10 minutes, leaving the police officers who work at the station deeply embarrassed.

The PM told them cleanliness is important. Then he left for a busy morning, crammed with events linked to the launch of the massive five-year Clean India campaign. (Read)

Hours later, the Sulabh team in orange-and-blue uniform was spotted cleaning the premises.

As Security Struggled to Keep Up, PM Kept Walking. To Vajpayee's Home.

NEW DELHI:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has made it somewhat of a trademark to cross security cordons and interact with crowds, broke with his schedule and arrangements again today to walk with delighted school children in the capital.
 
This morning, at India Gate in the heart of the capital, the PM led a crowd of nearly 5,000 which included school children in taking a pledge to help clean up India in the next five years - in time for the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
 
After declaring, "If we can make it to Mars, surely we can clean up the country...India can do it," the PM began walking with some children and activists. He was meant to walk about 300 metres to where his car was waiting but as security guards struggled, he kept going, all the way upto the residence of former prime minister and iconic BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
 
That was the second surprise Mr Modi pulled this morning. After visiting Gandhi's memorial at Rajghat, the Prime Minister made an unplanned stop at a police station in Central Delhi. The parking area was littered with garbage, and the PM picked up a broom and swept for about 10 minutes. He then headed to Valmiki Basti, a colony where Gandhi once stayed - that was the location chosen for him to symbolically sweep a part of a narrow lane to launch the massive Clean India initiative.

While taking the Clean India pledge this morning at India Gate in the heart of Delhi, he said, "I urge every one of you to devote at least one hundred hours every year, two hours every week, towards cleanliness."

Ministers and other government officials have been ordered to clean their offices - including their toilets.

Many civil society organisations have also joined the campaign, spreading awareness in urban slums and villages by putting on street plays and distributing pamphlets with information about hygiene and sanitation.

Here is your 10-point cheat-sheet to the new Swachh Bharat Abhiyan or Clean India Mission:

 

1. The PM chose the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi  to launch the five-year drive to clean public spaces in a bid to change India's image as one of the filthiest countries in the world.
2. Hours after flying home from a hectic trip to the US, Mr Modi, 64, rolled up his sleeves and  set an example by sweeping up rubbish in a Delhi neighbourhood called Valmiki Basti where Gandhi once stayed.
3. "Gandhi gave us the slogan: 'Quit India' and people came together to win our country's freedom (from British colonial rule)... but his other dream of 'Clean India' is still incomplete," the PM said in a televised address he made at India Gate in the heart of the capital.
4. The pledge taken publicly by him and thousands of others commits that they will spend 100 hours a year - roughly two hours a week - cleaning their surroundings.
5. The PM then led school children and activists in a walk through newly-cleaned roads.
6. The PM has made public health one of the main priorities of his new administration and has already promised to ensure all schools have separate toilets for girls and boys.
7. Elsewhere in state capitals and small towns, chief ministers from his party, the BJP,  law-makers, school principals, factory workers and residents swept and cleared garbage, and cleaned ditches and parks.
8. To drive home his point, the PM had ordered all ministers and bureaucrats to report to work today- a national holiday for Gandhi's birth anniversary -and clean their offices including toilets.  
9. Over the last week, cabinet ministers  have been photographed sweeping the areas near their offices and urging their departments to clear files and get rid of clutter.
10. Many civil society organisations and companies have joined the campaign, spreading awareness in urban slums and villages by putting on street plays about rubbish disposal and handing out leaflets about hygiene.
