Bidding goodbye to Bappa and resuming duties as responsible citizens, a huge collective of organizations assembled for a mega post-visarjan cleanup at Girgaum Chowpatty. 100+ volunteers came together from over 8 organisations to conduct the much needed cleaning drive after the visarjan day.
Shaina NC, the national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party, World Chairperson of Giants Welfare Foundation and the trustee of I Love Mumbai was the Chief Guest of the event and was herself seen cleaning the beach.
Talking about the event, Shaina NC tweeted, “At our #ngo @GiantsWelfare #Chowpatty group’s Beach Cleanup Project after #Ganpativisarjan as part of service week, I Love Mumbai and Rotaract Downtown. Kudos to the regular ongoing project of Change is Us every Sunday.”
The initiative was taken and executed by a group of NGOs namely Rotaract Club of Mumbai Downtown, Giants Group of Chowpatty, Metro Motors Auto Hangar, I Love Mumbai, Change is Us, Seafins, Marathi Mandal of K.C College, Pinkathon Girgaum, and Millennium Fellowship. All these volunteer based organizations came together with the single aim of cleaning the beach after the Ganpati Visarjan rituals. The event was supported by M.C.G.M.
Abiding by all covid protocols, the NGOs conducted the activity for over 2 hours in the evening post a rainy day. The NGOs consciously chose Metro Motors Auto Hangar as their partner for the initiative who displayed their Mercedes electric car at the event. Made completely out of plastic, the displayed car was an effort at promoting sustainable living.
