Work together to mitigate climate change menace: PM Modi on Earth Day


New Delhi, Apr 22 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed to everyone to work together to mitigate the menace of climate change as a way to pay tribute to the environment on Earth Day.

Earth Day, a global event, is observed on April 22 every year.

"On Earth Day, let us reaffirm our commitment towards creating a better planet for our future generations. Let us work together to mitigate the menace of climate change. This would be a great tribute to our beloved Mother Earth," Modi said in a tweet.

In another tweet, the Prime Minister said: "I compliment all those individuals and organisations who are working towards promoting harmony with nature and ensuring sustainable development."

On the occasion of Earth Day, people usually take out rallies, sign petitions, meet their elected officials, plant trees, clean up their towns, and roads in several parts of the world.

This year, Earth Day will focus on mobilising the world to end plastic pollution, including creating support for a global effort to eliminate single-use plastics along with global regulation for disposal of plastics.

    Rape and murder committed in U.S..U.K and European countries are much more in number than in India. We are good in adopting western culture. Should teach people value Indian culture and to give sessions on the same in each and every city.

Tools they play with computer games are having such type of things which ultimately make them to do wrong things. In internet if you see less educational things inserted and more of unwanted things which ofcourse attract more.

    Don't compare our country with other countries, our country still comes under developing countries in the world. But our culture is far much better than any other country in the world, but off late Child getting raped and our politician are involved,but our PM is quiet. Over and above the culprits are given protection , Is this justice, what would you do if you were a victim, would you compare with other countries and would be happy saying that only few are victims in India compared to UK and USA.
