Bandra youth battle air pollution crisis

Young leaders planted 53 saplings at the Carter Road Promenade to take action against the worsening impact of poor Air Quality Index

Saakshi Teckchandani (23), founder of Planet for Plants and Animals (PPAIndia), organised ‘Vriksharopan’ – a tree-plantation campaign along the sea shore

120 students from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies and the Rotary Club of Bandra also participated

With a roster of 20 volunteers from schools and colleges, the team at PPAIndia is injecting renewed vigour into a cause that promises future outcomes

“We became the foot and fingers of the elderly who cheered us while we planted the saplings,” shares Trivan – the young advocate with the Bombay High Court
