Officers from Dahisar police station are getting their hands dirty, literally, for a good cause.
The cops have set an example for the civilians in their jurisdiction by converting the biodegradable waste generated by the police canteen into compost.
The inspiration behind this initiative was based on the curiosity and the fascination of a head constable, who overheard a seminar on environmental awareness in a school where he was deployed for Class 12 exams.
“I was guarding the main gate when I overheard the seminar. I liked the idea immensely. I approached our senior inspector and requested him to start a similar initiative at our police station as well,” said head constable Bajai Jagtap from Dahisar police station. “It is simple and doable for every citizen of the country. They just have to decide to do something good.”
Senior police officials immediately acceded to the idea and sought help from Eco-ROX, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), for setting up the project. The NGO also received support from the civic body’s solid waste management department.
Since the project’s launch on March 23, policemen have been dumping more than 4 kg of dry leaves, flowers and canteen waste in a 3x2 feet compost box daily.
