Mysore/Mysuru: While many institutions, residents associations, NGOs and government bodies were busy planting saplings and watering them inside their premises in Mysuru yesterday as part of World Environment Day, a group of youths ventured into the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve near Anechowkur Gate to pick up trash by the side of the roads that had been mindlessly discarded by commuters.
The initiative was led by Coorg Wildlife Society (CWS) in association with the Forest Department and by the time the cleaning campaign ended, two truckloads of plastic waste and trash were collected. Over 110 people drawn from the CWS, students of Mysore University, Mysore Institute of Commerce and Arts (MICA) and Coorg Institute of Technology (CIT), Ponnampet, were part of the clean-up, supported by over 50 Forest Department staff.
