Amazed that there is a tree park right around HSR Layout? Well, there is one near Freedom International School in Sector 4. But did you know that one local NGO has been keeping it clean for the last three years?
Only last week, it was cleaned yet again by Kaagaz Foundation. “It gets filled with garbage due to BBMP’s secondary collection point,” says trustee Kavitha Reddy. Almost every three months, we get it cleaned. In the next tree plantation season, we should be adding 30 more saplings.”
The quarterly cleanup sometimes has volunteers, but it’s mostly done with the help of labourers.
