BMC’s MEGA Vriksha campaign is proving to be a
mega success with more and more citizens coming forward to clear the city’s
lungs.
Actor Abhishek Bachchan who joined in by becoming
the tree guardian of a Neem Plant, confessed his passion for gardening and
expressed his ‘civic duty’ to plant more trees. Holding a Tulsi plant, gifted
to him by Vishwas Mote – Asst Comm, BMC, singer Saniya Saiyad and Anusha
Srinivasan Iyer of Make Earth Green Again MEGA Foundation, Abhishek spoke of
how each citizen should plant and adopt trees.
Vishvas Mote added that it would be a great
inspiration to see Abhishek, who walked a good ten minutes to reach the tree he
was to plant, watch the tree grow, as he cycled past it everyday.
Saniya Saiyad spoke of how she felt honoured and
privileged to be part of a movement that will transform the city into an oxygen
belt, something that is the need of the hour. Anusha Srinivasan Iyer spoke of
how this movement was attracting more and more citizens and role-models
everyday and the process to make the city green was growing from strength to
strength.
Abhishek Bachchan, with his participation, became
the latest celebrity to join Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Anupam Kher, Anil
Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Poonam Sinha,
Saniya Saiyad, Ranvir Shorey and son Haroon Shorey, Amit Behl, Dr. Aneel Kashi
Murarka, Ashnoor Kaur, Advait Mote and MLA Shri Ameet Satam who are all proud
tree parents!
World Environment Day 2021
marked the start of BMC’s ‘Be A Tree Parent' MEGA Vriksha Campaign. Instituted
by the K West Ward Asst Commissioner Mr. Vishvas Mote, along with Anusha
Srinivasan Iyer of Make Earth Green Again MEGA Foundation and Vriksha Nursery,
the campaign involves and encourages societies and residents to adopt tree pits
from the 348 Mumbai locations where trees had fallen in the K
West Ward, post Cyclone Tauktae, and replant identified, fast-growing native
tree species in those locations.
"Vishwas Mote, Asst Commissioner K West Ward is a
visionary. It is thanks to his efforts, that we, at Make Earth Green Again MEGA
Foundation, are helping make the vital difference of making our ward get back
its lost green glory. The celeb participation and the ever-willing citizen
support, as well as that of the police who are willingly planting trees,
strengthen our resolve," expressed Anusha Srinivasan Iyer.
