The Swachh Bharat Mission started on October 2, 2014, and today commemorates a decade after the initiative. On the occasion, PM Modi took part in a cleaning effort at a New Delhi school. Sharing pictures from the event, PM Modi said, “Today, on Gandhi Jayanti, I took part in Swachhata-related activities with my young friends. I urge you all to also take part in some or the other such activity during the day and at the same time, keep strengthening the Swachh Bharat Mission. #10YearsOfSwachhBharat.”

Meanwhile, Alia is set to debut her latest flick, Jigra. The actress not only acts in the Vasan Bala film alongside Vedang Raina, but she also co-produces it.
