While appealing to people to celebrate Holi without wasting water in Pune, social activist Anna Hazare said that Holi was celebrated to burn all social evils. He said that people should burn cigarette packets and gutkha packets instead of burning wood and causing environmental degradation.
Hazare said that there was no need to burn wood and waste water for celebrating Holi. He emphasised that Holi celebrations would become more meaningful if people started burning addictions and social evils.
