It’s the responsibility of every citizen to protect the environment. Pollution can be controlled only when people recognize their role and play it effectively in protecting the environment and work towards that end, said Chief Minister K Rosaiah here on Saturday.
Participating in a Green Rally organized by the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board and the Department of Environment, Forests, Science & Technology, Government of Andhra Pradesh on the occasion of World Environment Day, the Chief Minister reminded the need for putting a check on pollution.
``Pollution levels are increasing day by day. Many industries are coming up. More industrial norms are flouted everyday. If every person plays his part well in creating a pollution-free atmosphere, then we will be doing a world of good to the future generations,’’ the CM observed.
``The Government will come up with various programmes to create awareness among the people to put a hold on pollution,’’ the CM added.
The CM flagged off the Green Rally from the CM’s camp office on Saturday morning. Many prominent schools and social organizations took part in the rally.
