Photo: Saurabh Sawant.Young children, some dressed as flamingos and miscellaneous birds, plus a host of volunteers, stood silently at the entrance of SGNP, on both sides of the forest access road, holding up placards for thousands of walkers to see. This one-of-its-kind campaign served notice to all that parks and sanctuaries are hallowed grounds that demand silent appreciation from all who visit their precincts. To a person, participants agreed that the morning provided great relief and contrast, against the din and cacophony that engulfs their lives on a daily basis in Mumbai.
