Mumbai locals clean Versova Beach, 5 million kg dirt removed
Mumbai locals spent over 1.5 years removing five million kilogrammes of filth and plastic from Versova Beach, with the help of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The initiative was spearheaded by High Court lawyer Afroz Shah, who organised volunteer camps to clean the beach. The UN, which has awarded Shah, will officially join the clean-up on World Environment Day on June 5.
