MAD Volunteers Clean Tamsa Stream ( DEHRADUN )

On May 19, 2013 (Sunday), MAD headed towards Tamsa Stream passing by Tapkeshwar Temple (Ancient Holy Place in Doon). Their cleanup drive was also covered by media and accompanied by local residents, 

Famous news Paper "The Tribune" appreciated their deed...  

Making a Difference (MAD), an association of 800 youngsters in Dehradun, has taken up the cleaning of dwindling streams which have been choked due to excessive pollution and gross neglect by people as well as the government.

Many of the erstwhile perennial streams are now beyond any scope of revival. It is certain that the streams flowing below the Bindal bridge and below the Rispina bridge are dead with all their biodiversity.

From east canal to west canal, Dehradun has no canals. MAD has now resolved that it would not allow those few streams to meet the same fate. Last year in May, they had zeroed in on the Tamsa stream which comes from the Bijapur dam to Dakra and is filled with the filth on the Tapkeshwar temple premises. It is the only stream which is the source of water supply for the town. Concerned over this, MAD volunteers held a mega clean-up drive and an awareness campaign on the premises of the Tapkeshwar temple on May 13 last and collected over 15 quintals of assorted garbage.

On hearing that people continue to pollute the stream, a team of 40 MAD volunteers were back in action yet again today. These included students from Summer Valley School, Brightlands, Doon University, the Dehradun Institute of Technology and Graphic Era University.

The Mahant of the Tapkeshwar temple extended full cooperation and support for this drive and provided them with some spades and also organised tea for young volunteers.

Wearing gloves, gumboots and masks, the youngsters started their work to clean the dried-up stream full of polythene and other pollutants.

Save Water

There are a lot of things that play a key role in our life, but few things are really an essential in our daily life, no matter if its a Rich person of Poor, every individual needs WATER in his daily life.

Source - Wikipedia

Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface,  Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater.

Looking over to these stats, we can really point out that it is really very less if compared to the consumption, which takes us to few Questions, 

1- Are we actually making the most of what we've got ?

2- Are we responsible enough ?

3- DO WE SAVE WATER ?

Many more Questions are there and among these three, i would only answer the 3rd one, "No we Don't".

Almost every Mediocre as of now can get water in exchange of money, but is it really available to many of those who need it as well ?

I feel so pity when i see such happenings.

And even after all these scenarios being going on in our country no one cares of this precious natural resource we are blessed with.






And this is whats happening....
