Navi Mumbai: In the last 12 weeks, a Navi Mumbai based environment organization has been able to clean mangroves in the city and clear out more than 5.5 tonnes of dry waste, from the mangroves around the TS Chanakya and Seawoods Estate area. The cleanliness drive had been jointly undertaken by the locals and the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC).
As reported earlier by TOI, The drive was also joined by the Save Navi Mumbai Environment group and NMMC representatives.
The entire lot of waste collected during the clening drive of Navi Mumbai mangroves included plastic bags, worn-out masks, gloves, medicine packages, old footwear, bulbs, tube lights, bottles among other things.
The drive was undertaken by the Environment Life group, an environment group that has been actively pursuing a campaign to carry out cleanliness drives around such places, and increase public awareness and participation through many such campaigns.
The organization is satisfied with the successful 12-week drive, and will now take a break before they resume their work again.
Through the drives, the organization has been regularly cleaning the mangroves at TS Chanakya, Seawoods Estate, Karave and Nerul.
Citizens wishing to join the cause and contribute their time and effort can get in touch with the organisations involved.
