Deserve Vishwamitri Riverfront as Ahmedabad has Sabarmati Riverfront


Deserve Vishwamitri Riverfront as Ahmedabad has Sabarmati Riverfront
The Issue
Vishwamitri River, the lifeblood of our city, Vadodara, has been subjected to extensive pollution and ecological hazards. Currently, it's in the worst condition, teeming with pollution and becoming a breeding ground for crocodiles. Residents living near the river suffer from the foul odour, and when it rains, it becomes a genuine threat due to the emerging crocodiles. This situation not only jeopardizes our quality of life but also poses a risk to our regional biodiversity.
The government has erected a riverfront project in Ahmedabad, rejuvenating the Sabarmati riverfront, resulting in a significant socio-economic boost. The citizens of Vadodara, who voted for the same government, rightfully deserve similar attention. A riverfront project for the Vishwamitri River would not only address these environmental concerns but also enhance the region's economic prospects through tourism and associated activities.
It's time to prioritize the ecological health of our water bodies and provide equitable development opportunities to all regions. Stand with us as we call on our local elected officials to commission a riverfront project for the Vishwamitri River, similar to the one implemented in Ahmedabad.
Kindly lend your support to this cause by signing this petition, and let's make a change for the better in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Let's ensure our river, our pride, regains its lost glory and contributes positively to our city's progress.
