Dwarkaites join hands to take cleaning as their mission

It's another feather in the cap of Green Circle. A dozen of dedicated Green Circle members assembled this morning at DDA Central Park, Sector 6, Dwarka at a short notice to carry out cleanliness drive. Named as "Mission Clean Dwarka", the members carried out the exercise for an hour, cleaned the entire park area and removed plastic and other non bio degradable waste scattered all over the park. The mission started with the Vipan couple seeking Green Circle’s support to clean the park and get rid of plastic waste. Earlier the Vipan duo who had been carrying out the drive on all Saturdays of their own for the past so many months. Green Circle decided to support the drive and called all to join the cleaning drive. The campaign was spearheaded by Octogenarian Lakhvinder Singh of Green Circle. Going around the park, with mask and gloves, the volunteers made a collection which was 6 sacks full and disposed off the same at Sector 5 Dhalao. During the drive, there were abundant encouragement by a lot of like-minded people who assured of joining us from next week onwards. Some elders appreciated the move while others expressed their condemnation against people who throw plastic in the park. Mr PK Chopra says, “While this is welcome by many, a few others continued their morning walk pretending that they have not seen us. But we are confident that some of them would not throw any waste in the park. And if that happens, it would be achievement of our drive.” Krishnamoorthy was happy to be a part of the drive while IM Khanna felt that he got a mental satisfaction for doing his part to Mother Earth. Green Circle Vice Chairman Anil Parashar said that the mission to clean Dwarka will continue on all Saturdays. Selvarajan Secretary of Green Circle thanking all participants requested the crusaders to join all the ensuing Saturdays in the mission. It is part of Green Circle's objective to protect environment and the drive initiated now would continue.
