India Plays Its Part In Global Climate Strike
With warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets and rising sea levels serving as indicators that our planet is reeling under the effects of climate change, protesters across continents waved placards and chanted slogans in what are set to be the largest climate demonstrations caused by humans. Their demand: an end to fossil fuels and climate justice for everyone. In Delhi, the protesters gathered in Lodhi Garden before walking towards Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in Jorbagh. The protest lasted till 6 pm.
Shall we begin?#ClimateStrike
