On this occasion, the Mukh Sewadar of the organization, Dr. Inderjit Kaur, began the rally with a prayer and shared that many decades ago, Bhagat Puran Singh Ji had already expressed his concern over the pollution of natural resources like water, air and earth. Today, the whole world is witnessing that his concerns are proving to be true.

The rally concluded at Bhai Gurdas Hall, where several environmental activists, including S. Jaskirat Singh, Col. Jasjit Singh Gill, S. Amitoj Mann, and S. Kulwant Singh Ankhi, addressed the gathering. They informed the children that due to collusion with current governments, many factories are illegally discharging untreated toxic waste water into the ground, leading to harmful metals contaminating drinking water, which in turn is causing incurable diseases. They stressed that if water exists, only then humanity will survive.
