Ushering into 2024
A cleanup in Reckong Peo - Kinnaur with a very supportive local community
Along with it in last 3 months every house is covered to segregate the solid waste - 1185 houses are now segregating
Next step is to rebuild the MRF, streamline the solid waste for recycling
Happy new year☘️
Close to 10000 vehicles entered Atal tunnel during long weekend
Two small villages Sissu & Khoksar currently enjoying the max benefit but the amount of trash left behind is a cause of concern
Unless & until as a community if we aren’t worried nothing is going to change
Our waste management facility in the village Khoksar will be operational from mid April 2024
Hoping for a collaborative approach

Circular economy in waste management especially in Himalayas is challenging
No EPR (extended producers responsibility) or carbon credit
Hardly any corporates to collaborate for CSR
Yet we do our bit #HealingHimalayas
We need a solution for this hotspot at Gompa road (Manali)
This time help should come from top as no one is ready to amend decade old habits
Let’s talk solutions
#himalayas
5.5 tonnes made its way to recycling which otherwise would have been dumped, burnt or landfilled

On 19 Dec 1971 Brig Khetarpal was shaving when bell rang at the door. Mrs Khetarpal opened the door. It was postman with letter, which after reading, Mrs Kheterpal started crying and then fainted.
It was news of their son, 2nd Lt Arun Khetarpal, laid down his life for the nation.
And the winner is @Tuborg

Once a mysterious village but not anymore

Merely scratching the surface
Slow & steady
