A Fulfilling Saturday Morning at Puttenahalli Lake

[PNLIT Lake Trust]

About 15 committed citizens came together this Saturday morning to clean the surroundings of Puttenahalli Lake. The drive was organised by The Indian Ploggers Army (Nagaraj and team) along with PNLIT, with the support of Greater Bengaluru Authority (South). GBA Marshal Manohar was present to encourage and participate in the effort.

Approximately 40 kg of trash was collected - including glass bottles, plastic bottles, discarded clothes, pooja items, and numerous toffee, chocolate, biscuit, and chips wrappers.

The sight of the collected waste was a stark reminder of how everyday litter adds up, and also of how collective action can make a difference.

We ended the walk by taking a pledge to take responsibility for the waste we generate, a small promise with powerful impact. Grateful for citizens who show up, care, and act.

The same spirit can extend to our streets, parks, and every public space we use. Clean surroundings are not someone else’s responsibility - they are ours. With a population as large as ours, it is unrealistic to expect the municipality to manage the growing volume of waste alone. If each of us takes ownership of the waste we generate, our neighbourhoods can transform - one street, one park, one lake at a time.

Kind regards,

Arathi Manay
