What was planned as a ‘Rain Walk’ turned out to be a trudge under the hot sun. Yet, the initiative by Green Community, an eco forum, on the ghat road at Laha on Saturday, saw the active participation of around 1,000 schoolchildren.
District Collector S. Harikishore flagged off the walk that began from Laha. The march was organised to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the ‘Rain Walk’ on the Wayanad Ghat Road (Churam) that began in 2006. The Collector also took part in the walk. Fr. Tom Kannamthanathu, Green Community district co-ordinator, and Robin Mathew, youth co-ordinator, led the march.
