The Care for Nature group of youngsters and senior citizens in Thane has been taking care of Thane railway station air quality by planting trees and taking care of them for more than a year.
The group recently arranged a ‘go green keep clean’ campaign in which they have kept plants on the Thane railway platforms. Commuters and railway authorities have felt nice to see flower pots on the platforms and appreciated the efforts.
Keshav Mahadik, 43, a daily commuter, feels relaxed by watching plants at the station. He said, “Generally, we have seen government bodies planting trees but not maintaining them, as a result the plants look pale and dry. But, as I travel daily from Badlapur to Thane, I have been watching these beautiful plants grow and well-maintained.
