Army raises eco-awareness in East Sikkim

GANGTOK, 18 Nov [PIB]: Trishakthi Corps personnel held an ‘Eco Awareness Campaign’ at Zuluk, Kupup and Gnathang villages, all on average elevations of 12,000 feet in East Sikkim, on Sunday. They interacted with the villagers and explained the harmful effects of imbalance in the ecosystem.
Conserving the ecosystem has become the main concern of this small state. The area gets littered with waste and plastic items thrown by the tourists who visit this state in large numbers.
The Indian Army undertook efforts to make the local people more conscious about preservation and maintenance of ecological balance. The area being prone to landslides, it is important that ecological balance and harmony with nature is preserved.
The troops also collected all the waste thrown around the area.
The villagers displayed keen interest and enthusiasm towards the campaign on ecological awareness and also expressed their views on maintenance of ecological balance.
