Under the topic, 'Save Chennai Wetlands', organisers are expecting around 1,000 people to join the rally on Sunday between 6.30 am-8.30 am. We wanted the current generation to know the reason behind the city's prolonged water crisis and ways to save these spaces. Wetlands are very important to our ecosystem as it stands as a natural buffer to natural calamities," said Pooja Kumar, a volunteer from Vettiver Collective..
