Young 'MyChandigarh' Brigade

Considering the litter that spoils our beautiful tourist spots especially the Sukhna Lake and the Rock Garden, it is time that we wake up to take some action against littering. Some of us volunteers have decided to go out to the schools and speak with little children upto class 8th to be a part of 'My Chandigarh' Young Brigade, which would point out to any adult littering in the city, requesting them to use the dustbins.
The little ones will be made aware about cleanliness and environment protection, and they would also carry their message home besides discussing with their friends.
We do hope people will listen to the little kids.
