Prayagraj, February 25: We see many times that employees of big or small companies get felicitated or respected for their work. But have you seen a sanitation worker being respected for the work they do for the country? In a delightful sight, the workers were offered Charan Vandana washing feet for their love and cleanly dedication towards the nation clean is nothing but a social message for the whole nation.
Our beloved Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday offered “Charan Vandana” of select sanitation workers, as a mark of respect to their efforts in ensuring a clean Kumbh, isn’t that surprising that nation’s Prime Minister is paying his respect by washing feet of workers? Because, he considers everyone who has been involved in ensuring the best of arrangements for the devotees gathering at Prayagraj for the Kumbh, as “Karm-Yogis.”
Their reactions were so touchy that they were overwhelmed by PM Modi’s gesture. Have a look at how the workers expressed their happiness and contentment towards this honor.
