Nagpur: Mirchi 98.3 Nagpur, in association with Nagpur Municipal Corporation, organised Mirchi Swachh Walk on Sunday, January 19. The event was held at Yashwant Stadium from 6 am to 9.30 am and received overwhelming response.
Mirchi Swachh Walk was flagged off by Mayor Sandip Joshi from Yashwant Stadium. The route of the walk was: Yashwant Stadium – Variety Square – Sitaburdi Main Market – Lohapul – Hotel Hardeo and back to Yashwant Stadium.
