PM Modi orders bureaucrats to clean Public toilets on national holiday

[waheed gul]

India: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered his bureaucrats to come in to work to clean up their offices — including toilets — on this week’s national holiday to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.

The move is part of a nationwide cleanliness drive to be launched by Modi on the holiday Thursday, with the premier himself expected to take a broom to the capital’s notoriously dirty streets.

The initiative has sparked grumblings by officials from India’s infamously slow and vast bureaucracy who say the request to work, although theoretically voluntary, cannot be ignored.

Modi has cracked down on officials since storming to power in May elections, demanding they turn up to work at 9 am and paying unannounced visits to government offices.

“We have already been turning up on time and working till late (since Modi took office). Now we have been asked to wield the broom and we might as well do so,” one reluctant official told AFP in New Delhi on Tuesday.

We have hundreds of problems all equally pressing or urgent.

As a Nation and as a Government we have to address many problems simultaneously. For example - Modi is touring so many countries and has launched a national 'Make in India' mission to encourage all companies to manufacture in India, not just use India as a Services base.

Similarly, Cleanliness and sanitation is also a pressing issue that has multi-dimentional impact - from loss of billions of dollars in due to bad health of Indians to loss of tens of billions of dollars each year in lost tourism opportunities because of lack of adequate sanitation.

I would commend Modi for taking forward economic and social issues simultaneously...and hopefully deliver results in both spheres.
