Poisar river clean-up gets new lease of life

Mumbai | Thursday | 9th November, 2017

Summary:

"Every year, we hear of multi-crore contracts being allotted to clean up Poisar river and its tributaries, but it is never effectively carried out.

There also has to be an emphasis on awareness dissuading people living along the river bank from throwing waste into the river.

We cannot leave things to the BMC and wait for them to clean up our river and hence we as citizens will have to actively take part in ensuring that we save Poisar river. We are also planning to meet the CM to personally brief him about the campaign to ensure BMC's participation, said Gopal Jhaveri, founder of River March movement.

They are also preparing a detailed plan, which is to divide the entire campaign into phases.".
