Operation green-up. Ask any of our employees and they'll tell you they take the sign 'Please Clean My Room' rather seriously. But on June 5th, they went a step further and created a new one. It read something like this, 'Please Clean My City'. And that's exactly what they did. On that day, which incidentally was Environment Day, the employees of The Park went on a cleaning spree of Jantar Mantar, to restore the charm and beauty of the historic Sun Dial. They also organized a pollution check camp where free checks were conducted on vehicles. And if that wasn't enough, in the evening, they teamed up with CRY (Child Relief and You) to organise a poster competition on the environment where fifty children from different NGO's participated and expressed their thoughts on the environment. The event was judged by renowned artist Arpana Caur, Admiral H Johnson (advisor to CRY), And Ms. Meeta Vyas , CEO WWF who also addressed the gathering.
