River Bank Clean Up at Ravet
Sea Scouts and Guides in association with Indian Maritime Foundation conducted a river clean up at Walhekarwadi Road, Ravet at 0900 hrs on 14 Jan 2024. A total of 140 Sea Scouts and Guides and 11 officers participated along with IMF Council Members as well as officials of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The clean up resulted in restoring the river bank, previously littered with plastic and other garbage, to a near pristine state.
Following the activity, the IMF officers as well as other officials present impressed upon the youngsters the importance of keeping our marine bodies such as rivers and seas clean of all types of pollution, especially plastic, chemical effluents and raw sewage. They also exhorted them to carry a message back to their parents, friends and relatives to refrain from littering public places indiscriminately, which itself would greatly reduce the need for such clean up activities.
Some photos of the activity are placed below.
