Taking it's first steps towards spreading it's tentacles throughout the length and breadth of the land of five rivers i.e. Punjab; the Aam Aadmi Party mad it's presence felt on the scene by starting a campaign against water pollution at Ludhiana's iconic Gill Bridge on Wednesday morning..........
Party leaders; volunteers and the assembled congregation of Aam Aadmi's and Aurats then pitched in to clean the festering Sidhwan Canal and subsequently spread the message of ridding our canals of pollution through a series of well intentioned and researched street plays........
Addressing the gathering; Colonel (retired) C.M. Lakhanpal; the state wide co-ordinator of the initiative/project apprised the gathering about the fact that this long overdue campaign would gradually be spread to the equally festering Buddha Nullah and Sutlej river as the two water bodies had been reduced to nothing more than carriers of the various forms of cancer that proliferate every nook and cranny of Ludhiana city thanks to the callousness and indifference of successive governments and civil administrations..........
"As the government and city's civil administration seems to have gone into hibernation; it is incumbent upon us to take the bull by the horns and show the government how things are done; yes it is indeed true that we are considerably hampered by a conspicuous lack of funds and much desired machinery; but we shall more than overcome these seemingly insurmountable obstacles by doubling our efforts and galvanising thousands of like minded people who are more than willing to be the change on the ground" the doughty Colonel quipped..........
In addition to spreading the message pertaining to the alleviation of water pollution; Aam Aadmi volunteers also spread themselves across the entire city and enrolled new members by the hundreds into the echelons of the party especially in the city's Rakh Bagh; Samrala Chowk; Shimlapuri and Gill Road areas..........
Good to know that someone out there is willing to walk that extra mile and make a difference where it is most required.........
