Aizawl, Jan 30 (IANS) The Congress-ruled Mizoram government Friday launched a massive state-wide cleanliness programme in order to make it the cleanest state in India.
Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla launched the programme - "Mizoram Faina Beihpui Hnatlang" (mass voluntary movement for cleanliness) - in Aizawl.
Thanhawla, accompanied by local leaders wielding brooms, cleaned the city and asked the people to do the same in their localities.

Government employees also swept their respective office complexes and adjoining streets.
