Eatables distributed to celebrate green Diwali

Mandi Ahmedgarh/Raikot, November 2

Employees of various departments of the Shreyans Group of Industries vowed to observe an eco-friendly green Diwali by planting trees and shunning bursting of crackers on the occasion.

An oath was taken in response to an appeal made by senior functionaries of the group, led by chairman and managing director Rajnish Oswal and assistant general manager Arshia Oswal. The organisers distributed sweets, other eatables and ration among poor families of the region.

“Contrary to earlier trend when we used to give cash for celebrating festivals to needy families, we have decided to greet them with essential items required for keeping their kitchens running,” said Rajnish Oswal.

Appreciating the gesture shown by the organisers, president of the Municipal Council Vikas Tandon and former president Ravinder Puri said the trend, if continued by other commercial and industrial organisations, would help check pollution caused due to bursting of crackers on Diwali. — OC
