hrs we reached our destination in about an hour. We had the
responsibility of spreading awareness for the protection of
river Ganga on our shoulders.
After having some refreshments, without wasting any time we
moved forward on our mission. We started our rally from Hari Ki
Pauri and covered almost 3 kms on foot till Chandi Ghat.
During the rally we lifted the banners & hoardings to
spread our message, through which many people came to know the
effects of pollution on rivers and its influence on us. This
initiative of ECO
CLUB, COER was also covered by the media wherein Amar Ujala
newspaper covered our whole campaign which helped in spreading
our message to more people.
After completing our rally we also went to an exhibition
on protection of rivers from pollution where we got to learn
many new things and also
come to know about what our government is doing to save our
rivers namely, Gomti River at Lucknow and Ganga at Haridwar,
from getting polluted. We also learnt about the working of
Sewer Treatment Plant
(STP). After attending the exhibition we left for COER at 1500

willing to end this wonderful experience but with an
anticipation of visiting again very soon we came back.
