BJP National Secretary and MP, East Delhi, Shri Maheish Girri is advocating the cause of protecting the depleting Ozone layer, and supporting ‘ShOObh Group’s’ campaign ‘ShOObh Green’ to mitigate the effects of depleting Ozone layer and preservation of the same. On the occasion of ‘World Ozone Day 2015’ (September 16), an initiative was undertaken by ShOObh Group and UNIC (United Nations Information Centre for India and Bhutan), supported by DDA and EDMC. In addition to the officers of UNO, Shri Rajiv Chandran, National Information Officer, UNIC, and Saansad Pratinidhi Shri Hari Arora attended the event which took place at Maharaja Surajmal Park, Delhi.

In his address over mail, Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General, UNO, said: “Not so long ago, humanity stood on the brink of a self-inflicted catastrophe.  Our use of ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had torn a hole in the ozone layer.”

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Rajiv Chandran said: I congratulate ShOObh group on marking World Ozone Day and spreading environmental awareness. Every leaf saved, adds to our protecting planet earth. Let’s remember, there is no planet B!

Bharat Gauba, President, shOObh Group said: “Come let's join to Save the Earth & celebrate life…. remember when we heal the Earth, we heal ourselves.”

Tree plantation was carried out at the event. Shri Hari Arora requested the children to take a pledge to save ‘Mother Earth’ and undertake extensive tree plantation. On the occasion, Shri Hari Arora gave Shri Maheish Girri’s message that “Depletion of Ozone is continuing to have a devastating effect on planet Earth. Ozone layer protects us from the harmful effects of sun and ultraviolet rays. It is imperative that we take a pledge to save our ‘Mother Earth’ and undertake extensive tree plantation. He who plants a tree, plants a hope. So adopt a tree as well as plant one today.”
