50 enthusiastic volunteers from Tata Communications took part in a cleanliness drive at Dadar Chowapatty to remove all the plastic bags, garlands and other garbage left behind during the immersion process at the end of the 11 day Ganapati Festival. Most of the trash is highly damaging to the biodiversity of the beach. The volunteers had a very organized approach of cleaning one entire patch wherein few volunteers gathered the garbage at certain locations and others picked it up and deposited in the garbage bags - a great example of synergy and team work. The activity made other people sensitive and aware about their responsibility towards their surroundings and environment. The BMC workers present on the beach were very impressed with our committed volunteering.
