But these small things can help us make our towns and cities more beautiful,” he should while white-washing the boundary wall of the complex.
“Basic cleanliness is important, but what is also important is that our walls should be painted. We would like to see all government spaces, on the main road, all the private buildings, everybody should take initiative to paint their walls. So, if everybody paints their own walls, their boundary walls, I think our Tura town will look much better. Similarly, Shillong and Jowai should follow,” he further expressed.
