On the auspicious occasion of Gudi Padwa, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will be conducting a ‘Cleanliness Drive’ across the cricket grounds in the city.
The MCA through this initiative, ‘Gudi Padwa Special Cleanliness Drive’ will cover five locations – Cross Maidan, Azad Maidan, Oval Maidan, Shivaji Park and Dadkar Maidan at Matunga.
“Gudi Padwa is widely celebrated in Maharashtra and it signifies the arrival of spring and the reaping of rabi crops. Hence we (MCA) decided to step up to clean up the playing areas for our cricketers. Our aim is to ensure fresher and cleaner surroundings for the young cricketers, the future of Mumbai and Indian cricket,” MCA, Secretary, Ajinkya Naik mentioned.
“I request all cricketers, young, old and those retired to join MCA in this cleanliness drive. Together we can give our young talented players clean grounds to play.”
The MCA drive will start the cleaning drive from Cross Maidan at 8.30 am.
