Taking to Twitter, Juster on Thursday said, "So pleased that @MoHUA_India & @SwachhBharatGov recognized @usaid_india at the Swachh Survekshan 2020 award ceremony. Through our partnership with the Government of India, the U.S. is committed to transforming water & sanitation services."
After the award ceremony, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated all those cities who have secured top positions in the Swachh Survekshan 2020.
