Forum calls for cleaner environment

Staff Reporter

Association of children's goups share plans and pleas

CHENNAI: Members of the Arunodhaya Children's Sangam shared their plans and pleas for a cleaner environment at the Press Club here on Thursday.

The Sangam is an association of 56 groups of children across the city, involved with Arunodhaya's initiatives, getting together to voice their rights.

Their requests to the Government include checking pollution, proper drainage systems for sewage and rainwater, disposal of garbage and removal of encroachments.

Their requests to the public include avoiding encroachments and ensuring the success of schemes such as segregation of waste. These requests had been highlighted through a human chain and a conference earlier this month.

The theme of safe environment as the right of children was also made the subject of a short documentary starring the children. Indiscriminate dumping of garbage, even near schools, pollution and the ill effects residents suffered as a result.
