I appreciate the mission generous work towards society and cleanliness.
I would also like to thank them for inviting Prof Puranik and request in the future to include useless ‘immoral police’ brigade.
It will be great pay back for the society instead of spreading hatred.
Kindly do something for future smart city to shun the blot of pub attack,morning mist,love jihad etc.
Jai Hind
May imaginary God bless these monks and volunteers. As usual, Cpt. Karnik has shown true leadership. Unfortunately , white shirt’ members are not to be seen. Same thing goes with minority community. May imaginary (true) God bless them with more wisdom and inspire them to help society without always thinking about religion.
