Currently, they are focusing on the Tapi River and Dumas beach."
Discussing the involvement of the youth, he added, "We have been inspiring the youth to take the cleanliness drive forward and make the surroundings plastic-free. Today, even though it was raining, the youth came out and cleaned the beach. I joined them and worked closely to clean Dumas beach."
