Chandigarh, March 23
Ecosikh, an organisation working to check pollution, has said it had persuaded over a thousand gurdwaras to plant trees.
Ravneet Singh, who is Ecosikh project director (India), said thousands of saplings were planted over the last one week in various gurdwaras across the country following an initiative by the organisation.
Singh said the Ecosikh, which had its branches in various countries, was committed to enhance the green cover in states like Punjab, which were highly deficient in this regard. He said responding to their appeal, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee had agreed to turn all gurdwaras in Delhi into “green places of worship”.
The Ecosikh said Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee chief Paramjit Singh Sarna had promised to use solar energy in all gurdwaras in Delhi and also to stop the use of plastic disposables at such places. Besides planting trees, the managements will also hold prayers on a daily basis for the betterment of the ecosystem.
