New Delhi : Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Friday asked children to be ambassadors for conserving and improving environment here.
She also appreciated the children’s voluntary support during the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games, after she inaugurated the 10th Annual Eco Meet organised by the city’s environment department.
The green cover in Delhi has expanded from 32 sq km to over 350 sq km over the past decade, she said.
Dikshit lauded the role of people in stepping up efforts to make Delhi a pollution-free city, and asked people to concentrate more on conservation of natural resources.
As many as 2,000 eco-clubs in the city are participating in the annual Eco-meet.
