After the overwhelming response garnered by award-winning campaign âKar Mumbaikar' last year, Radio City, India's leading radio network, culminated âKar Citykar' an initiative to address civic issues across Maharashtra. With campaigns like Plastic ka Endgame in Pune and Kolhapur, Cutting Paani in Nagpur and Clean Garden Garden Ho Gaya in Nashik, Kar Citykar campaign successfully addressed crucial issues that plague the society and encouraged the citizens to contribute in bringing about a positive change.
As part of âKar CityKar' campaign, Radio City addressed key concerns such as the plastic menace, water conservation, and the need for a cleaner environment. Through âPlastic Ka Endgame' activity, Radio City RJs reached out to societies in Pune and more than 1000 Kolhapurkars in order to create awareness about the menace caused by excessive use of plastic. The RJs collected plastic waste from households and encouraged the citizens to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones.
