The Head Priest at Durgiana Tirath was delighted by the jathas presence, and supported the sentiment wholeheartedly. Baba ji at the Guru Ravi Das Mandir participated in the cleaning of the Temple (mandir) interiors. Imam Sahib at Mosque Khair-Ud-Din applauded the assistance provided from time to time by EcoAmritsar. Christ Church management was fully supportive and asked for another meeting post AFD for scaling up the program. Gurudwara managements and the Municipal Corporation embrace the effort with open arms.
Said Gunbir Singh, Chairman EcoAmritsar, “ The effort was to involve all faiths in the cleanliness and greenification drive of the Holy City. All faiths must motivate their faithful to maintain sanitation and green spaces in their surroundings. This is the only way a community movement for the entire city will happen. We are hosts to over 25 million pilgrims each year, and are individually answerable to this collective responsibility. Faiths can make this happen, and we beseech each one of them to take a proactive role for Amritsar.”
