It has yielded good results. The decaying and ruining Naya Quila gets ‘saaf safai’. Plastic and polythene bags are picked up.

Again, a sense of belongingness of people to it emerges stronger with every such hoisting of Tiranga.

This time, the interior of the Naya Quila was lit with diyas. 40 diyas were lit in the dark and withering interior of the Naya Quila.
