Press conference at Pena !  

Pena : When 63^rd Republic Day of India is being celebrated, the problems faced by the country are increasing. We got freedom; but there is no righteous governance. Plastic flags are found lying on roads, in gutters in tattered condition; besides plastic cannot be even disposed of quickly and for many days, we have to see the desecration of national flags. It also causes damage to environment. The government issues circulars but does not find solution for effective implementation; therefore, journalists should only create awareness in the matter and force the Government to take action. The above appeal was made by Mr. Milind Poshe of HJS in the press conference held at Rameshwar Devsthan in Pena. A VCD was also shown on this topic. Representatives of local daily newspapers asked for handbills distributed on the occasion and promised to create awareness on the subject.
