A group of conscious citizens in Siliguri has launched an innovative initiative to create sustainable umbrellas for stray dogs using discarded advertisement banners and festive buntings. The materials, collected from various parts of the city, are being cleaned, disinfected, and repurposed by local artisans into lightweight, durable umbrellas to shield dogs from the sun and rain. The brain behind this effort is Supriyo Pal, a young resident of Siliguri.
Pal explained that the initiative involves gathering discarded banners and festive decorations from different locations, processing them to remove dirt and germs, and then transforming them into reusable materials. These are then crafted into sturdy yet lightweight umbrellas by skilled local artisans.
Local residents have praised the initiative, calling it not only environmentally beneficial but also a reflection of compassion toward street dogs. Pal mentioned that alongside producing these umbrellas, he is also coordinating with local animal welfare organizations to distribute them across various neighborhoods. He confirmed that some umbrellas have already been distributed.
