Actor Akshay Kumar, who raised the problem of poor sanitation in India through the film "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha", has urged people to participate in Swachhata Hi Seva Andolan movement.
On Wednesday, the 51 - year - old tweeted: "Thanks to 'Toilet - Ek Prem Katha', I got to know about the lack of basic sanitation facilities suffered by millions.
Swachhata (cleanliness) should be prioritised for our nation's healthy future.
Join the Swachhata Hi Seva Andolan. "
Along with the post, Akshay posted a poster of the movement.
It reads: "Become a part of the Swachhata Hi Seva Andolan and undertake shramdaan (voluntary contribution) starting 9. 30 a. m. on September 15 in your area.
Share your Swachhata moments using #SHS208. "
Akshay also made the audience witness India's sanitation issues in film "Pad Man", which focused on menstrual hygiene.
