Political leaders usually clean up streets and public places on special occasions such as environment day or cleanliness drive. But, Tingkhong MLA Bimal Borah steps inside a drain and uses a spade to clean it in a video that has been widely shared online.

"It's really so glad to see your sincere and dedicated efforts. You became a role model for our the politicians," people lauded on social media.

'Swachhata Hi Seva' movement was launched by PM Modi for generating greater public participation towards cleanliness to mark the commencement of the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi this year.
