00:00In the middle of the elections, there is a group of youth who are constantly focused on this election.
00:23They want to know about the development of Dehradun city, the cleanliness of the rivers, and how to make the dream of a green Dehradun come true.
00:33All the mayors who are fighting for the post of Mayor of Dehradun, they have spoken to them.
00:40You have come here. You have brought some bottles. What is in the bottles and what message do you want to convey?
00:48We want people to know that the first two governments have not been able to clean this water.
00:55Will the new government be able to clean this water? This is our message.
01:00Today, I saw that you were getting a form filled. What is that form and what message do you want to convey?
01:06We have brought a promise letter. We want all the mayors who have come here to sign it.
01:11They will take care of all these things during their tenure.
01:15What is in this letter?
01:17The first point is that they will work on the restoration of Rispan and Bindal.
01:21The second point is that Dehradun is a very eco-sensitive zone.
01:25They will stop all the illegal construction and one-time use of plastic.
01:31The second point is that they will focus on the plantation.
01:35Last year, we saw that the temperature of Dehradun reached 43 degrees.
01:39The third point is that all the tourist spots should be banned from using plastic.
01:43So that the beauty of the place is maintained.
01:46The fourth point is that such policies should be implemented in Dehradun.
01:52The town hall mayor should hold a meeting once a month.
01:56So that the sustainability of these things is maintained.
02:01We want a sustainable Dehradun.
02:03We have also brought an initiative.
02:05We have brought our own clothes bags.
02:08We have also brought our water bottles in glass bottles.
02:11To show that we want a plastic-free Dehradun.
02:14You were taking some numbers.
02:16You will contact them later.
02:18What kind of contact will there be?
02:20What are you going to say to them?
02:21We are giving them an invitation in the morning.
02:23There is a tea invitation on Rispana.
02:25Like we are seeing Rispana.
02:27They should also come and see Rispana in the morning.
02:30Are you seeing any changes in Dehradun?
02:34Green Dehradun used to be there.
02:36Are you seeing any changes that you have to take this step?
02:39You are only seeing normal traffic.
02:41Accidents are increasing day by day.
02:43What do you see in the name of Green Doon?
02:46There is nothing in the name of Green Doon.
02:48Tell us about yourself.
02:50What do you do?
02:52How did you come to this movement?
02:54We are making a difference by being a difference.
02:57We are a student activist group.
03:00We are funded by pocket money.
03:02We don't take any funds from the government.
03:04We are funding our NGO with our pocket money.
03:07Our NGO has been running since 2011.
03:11We do small activities every Sunday.
03:14We do wall transformation.
03:16Now the government doesn't do all the walls.
03:19But earlier we used to do this.
03:21We run a cleanliness drive.
03:23We have been working on Rispana for a long time.
03:26In 2016, we did a research with NIT Roorkee.
03:31We found out that Rispana and Bindal are perennial rivers.
03:37They are 12 months old rivers.
03:40They don't just come in the monsoon season.
03:43The water flows from below.
03:45We found out that if we want to revive it,
03:50the first thing is to remove all the illegal encroachments.
03:53All the seawater from the encroachments goes into the river.
03:58This is an important point.
04:03The catchment area of the river should be 100 metres.
04:08We don't even get 10 metres because all the encroachments are there.
04:12Secondly, if we run a plantation drive around the encroachments,
04:23they will come back to life.
04:26You are trying to make the dream of Green Dhoom come true.
04:30How did you come up with this concept of making the dream of Green Dhoom come true?
04:34You said that you will talk to the participants and take a bottle of water.
04:38Should there be political participation in this?
04:42What did you think about this?
04:45When we got the idea of taking water,
04:49we wanted to take a photo of the water and show it to the mayor.
04:56We want him to take a pledge to improve the water.
05:02If he improves the water, he will solve a lot of problems.
05:07The temperature in Dehradun was so high.
05:09If we want to save our rivers, we will have to build a bridge.
05:13We will have to settle the nearby villages.
05:16We will have to grow a small jungle.
05:21A lot of problems in Dehradun can be solved with the help of a river.
05:25Our plan was to show them this water.
05:29We want them to realise that this water used to be drinkable.
05:33Today, this water is not drinkable.
05:35This is a very good idea.
05:37This is a very good step.
05:39The youth are moving forward.
05:41They are looking at their future.
05:43How can they breathe in clean water and air?
05:47How can they improve their future?
05:49They are moving forward.
05:51Such initiatives are rarely seen.
05:53But the way the youth have taken up the fight,
05:56it will force the political parties and the politicians to think
06:00about the importance of clean water and air.
06:05If they want to win the elections,
06:09they will have to think about these issues.
06:11Will the elections be won on such issues?
06:14Or will such issues be put in front of the public?
06:17People want to see the issue of clean water and air.
06:20What the youth have said about all these things,
06:23what the youth have put forward,
06:25is really commendable.
06:27We will definitely think about this issue.
