Save 60 trees campaign in Chandigarh

Yesterday, on the 6th of March, there was a campaign in sector 17 dedicated to the protection of 60 trees which were supposed to be cut in order to make an over-bridge.
The movement, named Chipko, was organized and inspired by one of our friends, who's initiative made simple citizens to show how they care for their city! The link to the news about event is here:

I really appreciated and loved the passion of people participating in the event, because nothing like this could have happened in my city, Astana, when  so many trees were cut there too and none even had a move to save them! I like people being concerned about the city issues, and it has to be like this, because this is the place we live in, work and rest.
Be the change you want to see!
