Amanora Park Town, the township project managed digitally at Hadapsar, is now all set to add another feather to its cap, this time in the field of environment conservation as the work for the first ever "Temple of environment' being set up on the premisis is in the final stages of completion. The temple would be ceremoniously unveiled on the occasion of World Environment Day, on June 5. Aniruddha Deshpande, managing director, City Corporation Ltd, said rapid urbanisation and industrialisation was creating some adverse impact on the environment, and everyone, especially the younger generation needs to be made aware about it. "We have built this temple of environment with an objective to spread the message of environment protection. Where through a massive awareness drive, citizens would be encouraged to visit the temple and pay respect to the Golden Tree - The Goddess of Environment by lighting incense sticks). We are very proud to have partnered with the State Government in this awareness drive,' Deshpande said. The
