Speaking on the occasion, Anand Sen, president, TQM and Steel Business, Tata Steel, congratulated the Environment Department and said, “Environment day is not merely an event, rather it is an on-going endeavour. We have to ensure implementation of best practices inside the works and the city, which can be achieved by commitment and conviction and not merely by radical technical intervention”. He added “It is sad that we have not reached a point where we can create a positive image of the future”. He urged the Environment department to go beyond the present and work for a larger cause of environment.
