PM Modi recalls Mamallapuram visit, pens poem

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday shared a poem penned by him during his stay in Mamallapuram.
Prime Minister Modi on Saturday morning took to plogging at a beach in Mamallapuram and called on people to “ensure our public places are clean and tidy.” “Yesterday, I was lost in conversation with the sea during a morning walk on Mahabalipuram beach,” Modi wrote on Twitter while sharing the poem. Prime Minister Modi’s plogging exercise lasted for over 30 minutes on Saturday morning.
For his poem, Prime Minister Modi got appreciation from Ghazal maestro Pankaj Udhas who tweeted, “Wonderful expression with an amazing message.” Plogging is an exercise that combines jogging with picking up litter.
