The speaker forum will honour those who burn cow dung cakes on Holi
Raipur. Leading social organization Vakta Manch has announced to honor the committees that burn Holika with cow dung cakes this year also. President of Vakta Manch, Rajesh Parate has told that this honor is being given by the Manch for the past decade with the aim of preventing cutting of trees and protecting the environment. Committees working in this direction can contact Vakta Manch coordinator Shubham Sahu on his WhatsApp number. You can register yourself by sending a message to 9165599995.
It is worth mentioning that a large number of Holika Dahans are done in the capital. The use of wood for this purpose endangers trees and there is a possibility of increasing air pollution. Often, green trees are cut to collect wood on the occasion of Holi. In view of the decreasing area of forests across the country, there is a need to consider ways to end the use of wood in Holika Dahan. In view of the spiritual importance of Holi festival in Indian culture, a campaign of burning Holika with cow dung cakes is being run in many cities of the country.
Buying cow dung cakes will increase employment in rural areas and will also conserve forests. In ancient times, cow dung cakes were used for Holika Dahan. All the committees have been requested by Vakta Manch to burn Holi with cow dung cakes.
