In a heartfelt tribute to his late parents, Hari Om Bhatia and Aruna Bhatia, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar led a significant tree plantation drive along the Western Expressway in Kherwadi (Bandra) on Monday, June 24th, 2024. The initiative, undertaken in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Brihanmumbai Municipal Tree Authority, and the Make Earth Green Again (MEGA) Foundation, marked a pivotal step in restoring Mumbai`s precious green cover, significantly impacted by Cyclone Taukte.
The tree plantation ceremony, which commenced at 9:00 AM, saw Kumar planting 200 Bahawa trees alongside BMC Commissioner and Administrator Mr. Bhushan Gagrani. This initiative is of deeply personal significance for the actor, honouring his parents` memory while promoting a greener future for Mumbai.
