A couple of days earlier, Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) in a bid to encourage people to celebrate a green diwali had announced a reward for those who do so. A contest in this regard has been announced by Dr. Vijay Karthikeyan, Special Officer, CCMC in this regard.
City-based NGO 'Pasumai Desam' celebrated a clean and green diwali. There were no fire crackers, instead diwali was celebrated by planting saplings. Members and volunteers of this NGO joined hands with a few like-minded and planted saplings across our city.
It has been reported that about 40 palm trees have been planted across the Ukkadam tank bund and the Perur Padithurai. On the side lines of this drive one of the representatives of this NGO shared that “This is an initiative to spread the message among people that the festival of lights can be celebrated in a clean and greener way. Pasumai Desam was founded with the intention of increasing the green cover in our city. Our diwali celebrations too are aimed at this.” S. Rajendran said.
