Mr. Vikas Malpani, Co-founder and Head - Communities, CommonFloor.com said, "From our close association with apartment communities across Delhi / NCR, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune, we know that pollution has slowly crossed the permissible limits, even in residential areas. For the sake of our children and our own health, it is time we stop paying lip service to this menace and come together to take effective steps to protect our habitats."
"Pollution is a problem that is caused by all of us. Rather than expecting the authorities to solve it, we need to approach the problem ground-up and adopt eco-friendly; yet cost-effective solutions in our daily lives that can help tackle pollution. We believe this forum will help in bringing together and motivating people across apartment communities to combat the hazards posed by pollution, and live a healthier life," Vikas added.
