The central government Thursday roped in a social networking website to make Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet project "Swachh Bharat" mission a "mass movement".
"The ministry is taking the help of LocalCircles - a community social media platform," said an official statement from the urban development ministry.

This social media platform enables citizens to easily come together, exchange ideas on cleanliness and take up appropriate cleanliness activities in their neighbourhoods, the statement said.
