The Daily which has become the most read newspaper in the Vindhya region has in the past conducted some initiatives for keeping the River Narmada clean and pollution-free.
The purpose of the rally:
The rally will educate the people of the city about how vital it is to keep the River Narmada clean. The world is witnessing climate change of epic proportions.
The effects of climate change are evident in Jabalpur also. The rainy season is 50% over and stills the two tanks Pariyat and Khandhari, which provide water for the millions of residents of the city are still not full.
The gates of the Bargi dam have opened once in two years. All these are ill effects of climate change which is going to affect each individual.
