TADA - A Mysterious location, beautiful scenery, pristine waters, crystal clear pools, fresh flowing streams, breathtaking views and the gorgeous Tada waterfalls - this is how Tada was described a few years ago. All this is already becoming history.
This was Tada a couple of years ago. Pure , Green & Clean
Fresh & Clean water everywhere...
Today, Tada is described as a place filled with garbage, liquor bottles,broken glass pieces, plastic covers, plates, plastic water bottles,rappers of biscuits, assorted snacks, aluminium foils, metal caps,Clothes, footwear..... and what not? - It is also home to those anti-social elements who drink there and cause harm not only to the general public but also to the peaceful trekkers either directly or indirectly.
Today, it is worst!!! Plastics, Garbage & Junk trashes everywhere
Drunkards , Bottles & broken glasses everywhere...
Its high time we acted upon this; We as trekkers and nature enthusiasts share a common goal of protecting nature. Yet we have not managed to do much about the anti-social activities happening out there in the name of the so called "Eco-Tourism". Absolutely no rules are being followed in this place, no one ever bothers to check if the rules are being obeyed, plastic wastes are scattered everywhere - yet not a sign of dustbins (At least along the main route to the falls that everyone takes).
The pictures above open the doors to reality, it appears as if mother nature is desperately crying for help. If left unnoticed, the whole place would die out eventually. Friends, lets come together on this date, to help save mother nature before it reaches a point of no return; lets take up the responsibility and clean up this place apart from our usual fun filled trek; lets measure the waste extracted and let the officers know what has happened to a beautiful place in just a few years and document it. This would at least help reduce by a great extent, if not prevent, the use of plastics and littering around; this will make the authorities enforce basic rules that will preserve the beauty for ages to come. So that we can continue our passion and create a safe green home for mother nature.
To show its concern for Tada, CTC along with the help of media has decided to take up the clean-up operation under its flag. Friends, and to all those who love nature, come, be a part of this wonderful and responsible trek. Its time to show your part in conserving nature.
