Schoolchildren and environmentalists in Hassan, on Friday, joined the worldwide movement started by Greta Thunberg, from Sweden, demanding action against global warming and climate change.
The students and environmentalists took out a jatha in the city expressing solidarity with the protests across the globe.
Greta Thunberg began the protests demanding action on climate change in August 2018 in front of Swedish Parliament building. She has delivered talks at many places spreading the message on the issue.
Members of Hasirubhoomi Trust, Geleyara Balaga and students of Vijaya School took part. They took out the jatha from the Taluk Office and reached the Deputy Commissioner’s Office via N.R. Circle and Hemavathi Statue Circle.
They submitted a memorandum to M.L. Vaishali, Additional DC, demanding concrete action.
