To mark the occasion of world water day, a rally ‘walk for water’ was organised by Sankalp Sansktritik Samiti, a Non Government Organisation based in Raipur on Saturday. People living in various slums of the city took part in the walk that culminated at the garden situated in front of the office of Raipur Municipal Corporation.
The people living in various slums of city started from their home carrying billboards. After reaching RMC office they greeted the acting mayor Pramod Dubey and Jaggu Singh Thakur, President Water committee RMC, for fulfilling all their commitments to get taps and toilets to local communities, improved sanitation in schools and increase funding for sanitation and water.
The main objective of the walk was to make people aware of the water crises in future and motivate them for the proper & better utility of water, water conservation, water sustainability and also to draw the attention of people towards these causes. Pramod Dubey appreciated the efforts being taken by the organisation.
