Revolution, an eco-friendly mobility awareness group has been doing its activities since 2021. It was a great collaboration between Community, Organizations, Students from Colleges and Government and this is an excellent example of the magic we can produce when we all come together.
We had about 250 community members gathered near the heritage tree, which belongs to 1908 and the one which saved 150 people during the floods. Mohammed Haseeb, heritage man of Hyderabad briefed about the heritage significance of the Musi River and also about the tree. Students were delighted to listen to the past and its significance.
Why this?
With the Government project for Musi River Rejuvenation in progress, we as part of Hyderabad Cycling Revolution take the responsibility from community to bring the awareness and campaign about the significance of the lifeline of the city that is the Musi river. Usage of more cycling tracks, encouraging walk, public transport are the other campaign themes of the group.
This series will continue Every First Saturday of the month. This is in collaboration with GHMC and with the guidance of GHMC commissioner K Amrapali, IAS, said Ravi. GHMC DC Goshamahal and AMOH too were present to campaign for awareness on prevention of Dengue fever and other seasonal entomological diseases on the occasion.
