Our ports are the first point of landing to any visitor. So we have a much bigger responsibility towards cleanliness as we are all ambassadors of our nation. Let us begin with keeping the premises clean, so that it gives the visitors a good first impression. Let us all devote two hours a week to achieve the goal of cleanliness’.
