chowafterbonboTHE UN-TRIBALS OF ‪DARJEELING‬: Celebrated Tribalism and Left Behind This Mess

Ms. Emma Rai posted these pics with a note yesterday, “So disappointed to see this today at ‪#‎Chowrasta‬ in the exact same spot where just 10 days ago Amar Singh Rai, Chairman of Darjeeling Municipality and MLA, along with Darjeeling Prerna representatives of the DM, and local schools launched the ‪#‎plasticfreedomchallenge‬. Time for a total ban on sale and use of thermocol, especially in public places. So much for ‪#‎zerowaste‬”

Yesterday, GNLF celebrated “Bonbo Festival” to celebrate our “tribalness”. Well the basic characteristic of any Tribal community is that they celebrate mother nature and live in harmony with nature, does the use of these plastics, thermocol and bottled water make it look like they were celebrating nature?

Shameful!! JAAGO DARJEELING JAAGO
