OMR GREENS - A NEW BEGINNING<br />

FOR A CLEAN OMR<br />

Residents of Mantri<br />

Synergy apartments<br />

in OMR as<br />

part of their community<br />

initiative OMR Greens<br />

involved themselves in<br />

cleaning the Sai Temple<br />

in Kelambakkam on 2 December.<br />

A strong team of about a<br />

dozen members of OMR<br />

Greens carrying placards<br />

started on an awareness<br />

walk from Mantri Synergy<br />

apartments to Sai Temple.<br />

Placards highlighted<br />

on green initiatives like<br />

keeping the surroundings<br />

clean, against dumping of<br />

garbage, mosquito menace<br />

etc.<br />

OMR Greens on reaching<br />

the temple got down<br />

to cleaning up the garbage<br />

littered in and around the<br />

temple. Kelambakkam<br />

Panchayat president, Mr<br />

G Venkatesan participated<br />

and appealed to OMR<br />

Greens to organize a similar<br />

campaign on Kelambakkam<br />

Main Road near<br />

the petrol station during a<br />

weekend. He further made<br />

arrangements to shift the<br />

garbage by tractor trolley<br />

and deployed a couple of<br />

tricycles to carry them.<br />

Sai Temple head priest<br />

Sri Acharya in his part<br />

had arranged for planting<br />

a few samplings of pongai<br />

near the temple to mark<br />

the event. This is the third<br />

campaign since the launch<br />

of OMR Greens in September<br />

last.<br />

Earlier OMR Greens<br />

were involved in cleaning<br />

the garbage heap close<br />

to Hindustan University<br />

and another at the main<br />

road junction at Padur.<br />

OMR Green team comprises<br />

of Pravin, Pandian,<br />

Bala, Shine, Santhakumar,<br />

Neeraj, Pandey, P S Sridhar<br />

and family, Gopalan,<br />

Viswanath, Vasu, GVK<br />

and family. Mr S Kumar<br />

of Saravana Medicals took<br />

much effort to organize<br />

the campaign.<br />

It is significant to make<br />

a special mention about<br />

Aravind an enthusiastic<br />

school student who took<br />

much pain in helping the<br />

volunteers while cleaning<br />

the temple. Employees of<br />

the Sai Temple too cooperated<br />

well with the volunteers<br />

of OMR Greens.<br />
