Tribune News Service
Mohali, October 13
Appealing to school children and head of private schools to spread the message of “Green Diwali” in Mohali to promote the celebration of cracker-free green Diwali in the district during a function at Manav Mangal Smart School, Deputy Commissioner Gurpreet Kaur Sapra said fire crackers contribute to noise pollution and environment pollution and are a matter of great concern on Diwali.
She said Diwali should be celebrated by only lighting candles and diyas.
She said cracker-free Diwali would save money which should be utilised for donating books to the poor and needy families, which will be a great contribution to society.
DC Sapra launched a sticker of “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao”.
She said: “We should not create any difference among boys and girls and should give respect to girls in society”.
She said any kind of abuse with girls, if noticed, should be brought to the notice of parents and teachers.
A short play on the theme of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao was staged by the students of Rattan Group of Colleges.
