Mumbaites
support NDTV’s 'Save Our Tiger' Campaign
Mumbai, July 29, 2014:
Carrying
forward the mission to ‘Save Our Tigers’, NDTV and Aircel urged everyone
to join and support the ‘#SaveOurTigers’ Agenda on the occasion of WORLD TIGER DAY today.
The third season is
appealing to school children, youth and concerned citizens to come forward to celebrate
World Tiger Day and sign their names on signature sheets which will then be
taken to Chief Ministers of key tiger states to take immediate action towards
Tiger Conservation.
As part of
the campaign, the signature sheets in support of the agenda were placed at
Select City Walk in New Delhi, High Street Phoenix Mills in Mumbai, City Centre
at Kolkata and Citi Centre Mall in Chennai today.
The Mumbai event saw Bollywood
actress Tara Sharma express her concern about poaching of tigers, as she
joined the signature campaign, suggesting strong steps be taken to curb
poaching of tigers and other wild animals.
A special ‘Augmented Reality Zone’ was
also created on the ground for people to have an exciting tiger experience
exclusively at High Street Phoenix, Mumbai and Select City Walk in Delhi.
In a lead-up to the campaign, painting
competitions were held in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Sawai Madhopur
that received an encouraging response from school children, with around 500
students participating in each city. Eminent personalities from various walks of life joined hands with
NDTV and Aircel to raise awareness about saving
the Tiger, our national animal and pride of India. Naynaa Kanadia joined us in
Mumbai, Paresh Maity in Delhi, Shuvaprasanna in Kolkata, Ramya in Bangalore and
ThotaTharini in Chennai to support the painting initiative.
