Field Marshal K. M. Cariappa Scouts Group, Mysuru district, on Friday kicked off a two-day cycle rally on avoiding plastics under the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ campaign.
In all, 50 Scouts and Guides are taking part in the rally which was flagged off from the Divisional Railway Manager’s office in the city. The participants pedalled along the Mysuru-Nanjangud road and camped at Begur for the night and will head towards Bandipur on Saturday.
The participants in the rally will enact street plays, interaction sessions etc., with the local population at Begur and Gundlupet and thus aim to spread awareness aout hygiene and the perils of indiscriminate use of single-use plastics in rural, urban, forest areas. They will also campaign to remove vaccine hesitancy in the communities.

Selected from 9,400 submissions across 37 countries, the 100 photographs on display traverse intimate and political terrains. In MRC Nagar, photographer Swastik Pal captures life in the Sundarbans, where severe climate change has brought humans and wildlife into closer contact. Shane Hynan’s Beneath Beofhod reflects on Ireland’s boglands as sites of memory and restoration, while Mateo Trevisan’s More than the Sun examines the impact of coal-driven industrialisation in the Western Balkans.
