On the occasion, Arif Sheikh quoted, “Trees are the ultimate friends of humans. They produce oxygen, clean the soil, control noise pollution, provide shade and coolness, act as windbreaks and check the soil erosion. ‘Clean Indore’ will also focus on conservation of greenery in the city”.

it’s extremely difficult to keep houses, workplaces, roads, squares etc clean without individual efforts; thus, we’re motivating people to maintain hygienic conditions and throw garbage, dust, wastage etc in dustbins”.
