At Bilaspur’s Bahatarai Stadium, CM Vishnudev Sai and Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao washed the feet of Swachhata Didis, leaving the honoured sanitation workers visibly emotional. The rare and moving gesture was witnessed by thousands in attendance.
CM Vishnudev and Deputy Chief Minister recognised Swachhata Didis from urban bodies that performed exceptionally in the Swachh Survekshan 2024–25, offering a tribute unlike any other. The recipients expressed deep gratitude, calling it one of the proudest moments of their lives.
Speaking at the ceremony,CM Vishnudev Sai praised the Swachhata Didis and Swachhata Commandos for their vital role in building clean and healthy cities. He said their contribution extends beyond cleaning streets — it is part of a broader social transformation — and such recognition would inspire greater respect for sanitation work across society.
On stage, Vishrampur’s Punita Bai and Kumhari’s Ranu Devangan shared that sanitation work is often looked down upon, but being honoured in this way by the Chief Minister filled them with pride. “This is a true reward for our hard work and dedication. The support of public representatives and citizens has helped our efforts gain recognition, and our urban bodies achieve top ranks in the survey,” they said.
Similarly, Puja Rathore from Bilha and Wasu Raj from Dantewada, both in the profession for eight years, said they had never before experienced such pride. Swachhata Didis Sharda Soni and Kiran Singh echoed the sentiment, thanking CM Sai and DyCM Sao for the honour.
