Aurangabad, Feb 5:
High-quality cement roads and large buildings in the city, as well as expensive cars running on the roads, are not counted for an ideal city but it depends on the standard of living of the citizens. It is important to consciously inculcate good environmental and health habits in us. Organizations like Get Going have been working for the past ten years and every citizen should do the same, said municipal administrator Astik Kumar Pandey on Friday.
