Zonal Officer Akash Kumar highlighted the need for youth participation in combating climate change and emphasised the importance of segregating dry and wet waste, especially with the rapid development in Indiranagar.
Various speakers at the event called for planting medicinal plants in every home and creating organic compost from kitchen waste. The Shivajipuram Residential Committee announced plans to launch awareness campaigns, with speakers expressing hope for significant changes through small, collective efforts.
