On the occasion of Dev Deepawali, members of the Namami Gange initiative also organized a cleanliness and awareness campaign in Varanasi. One of their main messages was urging people to avoid using polythene materials for puja rituals and not to immerse them in the Ganga, as such materials contribute to the pollution of the river.
The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the Ganga river and reducing pollution levels. The coordinator emphasized the need to preserve the environment by safeguarding the Ganga river. In fact, they even called for a complete ban on the use of polythene in religious rituals.
Dev Deepawali serves as a reminder of the significance of water conservation and the sanctity of the Ganga river. The Namami Gange initiative is actively working towards the clean-up and restoration of the Ganga river in Varanasi, with the hope of preserving its beauty and purity for generations to come.
