Lucknow:

The level of enthusiasm and energy in the group of 10 boys from Bulandshahr knew no bounds on second day of the 51-hour long cleanliness drive and late Sunday evening they broke their own record of 36 hours of continuous cleaning in Sikanderabad.

Undeterred by harsh weather, the group that arrived in the city with the dream of concluding successfully a cleaning session of 51 hours, kept motivating people and sweeping lanes and markets of Aminabad even after two days and two nights of hard work.

Locals not only supported the volunteers and participated with them but also took inspiration and vowed to maintain cleanliness around them.

A student and Aminabad resident Prakhar Rastogi, utilised his Sunday in the most apt manner. Inspired by these young men from Bulandshahr, Prakhar called his friends and joined hands with the group for the noble cause. “We found it exciting and at the same time very constructive to make such efforts. We are going to repeat it on the coming Sundays,” he said.

Gaurav Hinduja from Asian Book of World Records was present at the spot and maintained account of their efforts. The group is expected to get a mention in the book once they complete the drive. The district administration has provided an ambulance at the spot in case of emergency.
