The Indian Service Club was started in 1991 to address public issues. Later it conducted a Swaccha Nagara campaign. Later, when they came to clean Arya Samaj Road, the club was forced to disband due to lack of incentives. They say it's getting better support now. Our works have been getting good response by city police as well, Gilbert D'Souza said.
