The starting line-up at the Lake was not very encouraging... We thought we will wait for a few more paws...
A word of 'telling-off' from our very dear and extremely punctual CAT DV Bhatia shook us into action...
CATS getting used to holding the candles..
I still don't know who burnt my hair!
20 Proud CATS ready for the CAT WALK :-)
A sight to behold... Chandigarh Police cares indeed !!
There was no stopping our Crusader CAT Reeta...A firm believer in the environmental issues, she imparted
the information at the entrance to the Peace Monument and encouraged
the passer-bys and visitors to the lake to understand the
importance of saving electricity.
Notice our little CAT Akshat holding a candle is quietlyproviding support to CAT Deepinder,
who's busy fielding queries from the inquisitive visitors at the lake..
People eagerly reading the 'Practical Electricity Saving Tips'
from the CATS leaflet prepared specifically for EARTH HOUR
This photo should banish all doubts from your mindabout the success of our EARTH HOUR campaign..
CATS management has issued a show cause notice to this merry bunch of CATS, on account of dereliction of duty ;-)
CAT Aman and CAT Amanat trying to tidy up...May the flames from this humble candle vigil
rise high enough to create an awareness in the masses
to wake up and take action to save our environment...
CATS can't help celebrating after a successful campaign :-)
The moment of dispersal... Three cheers to the one who can spot our official photographer,
CAT Paramjeet in this picture!
CATS, this evening would not have been possible without the collective effort of CATS and supporters of CATS. Since this was an event to be held in a public place, I knew we would need permission. However, I was not aware from whom. Director Tourism, Mr Vivek Atray got STEPS into action to ensure all formalities were kept in place for us.
GM CITCO, Mr Malhotra not only gave consent for the event to be held in an otherwise cordoned off area at the lake, but also deputed the manager at the Lake, Vikas to ensure our event went ahead smoothly. As commands our 'No litter' policy, CATS ensured that all candle boxes, match sticks, paper wrappers were disposed off by us in the bins. We are also grateful to Vikas who also assured us that the Peace Monument would be cleared of all candle wax later on that night.
I have none else but CAT Charanjeet to thank for inadvertently being instrumental in getting the first CATS leaflet printed. He demanded that nothing but a 3-fold leaflet would do. As a result, I had to quickly convert an A4 text into a 2-sided 3-fold leaflet. I then passed the baton to CAT Paramjeet, whom I made to run back to his office, get a print out of the emailed leaflet, rush to a 'cheap' photocopier to get 100 reproductions! It's not for nothing that CAT Pradeep calls me a slave driver !!
Thank you all.
- CAT Supreet
