“In a city that is as big as Hyderabad, the huge number of vehicles and industries affect the environment and cause pollution. The same happened in Delhi and it is now upon every person in Hyderabad to take it upon themselves to ensure a lot of trees and saplings are planted, as this will bring down the pollution. I thank Gopinath for taking this initiative up on such a big scale,” Santosh Kumar.
