A social media post by Vehicle Factory Jabalpur, highlighting its cleanliness drive, has drawn ridicule for its “before” and “after” images, which some users argue show minimal improvement, with the “before” state appearing cleaner. The initiative, aimed at promoting a clean and green environment under the Ministry of Defence, featured a small area where weeds were cleared, but the lack of significant change sparked mockery among netizens, with some questioning the effectiveness of the effort. This incident underscores the challenges faced by defense units in effectively communicating their initiatives and the importance of public perception in maintaining trust in government efforts, especially in areas of environmental commitment.
