The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) launched a campaign called "Bhubaneswar First" on Friday. The campaign's goal is to make the city number one in every sector. The BMC wants citizens and all stakeholders to be partners in the civic body's initiative to make the city first in all spheres. The launching programme started with a video message from Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. He appealed to people to keep the city clean, green, and beautiful. "I and you also want that Bhubaneswar remains at the top of cleanliness for Bhubaneswar first, let's all work together like our homes. We will take care of our ambient environment. We will make our dear Bhubaneswar an ideal city," Naveen said in the video message. The BMC said that Bhubaneswar was adjudged number one smart city in 2016 and it has the credit of being the only city hosting the Men's Hockey World Cup twice.
