Jethava’s colleagues vow to take forward his work

Before Jethava’s killing,the office-bearers used to meet on every Sunday to hear grievances of people and help them prepare their applications under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

“There will be no let up in our environmental activism,” said Dilip Katariya,co-convener of the Mandal. He added that the meeting will decide their future course of action to take the 400-member organisation to newer heights and the carry the “name of its founder Amit to the international level to apprise people of the work he has done”.

Another co-convener,Purshottam Ambaliya,said there was no question of stopping the work following Jethava’s death.

The only way to perpetuate his memory was to further his goals of environmental preservation and help more people get information through the RTI Act.

“We dispose of 20 to 25 applications on various issues concerning RTI on Sundays between 9 am and 2 pm,” he said.

Mandal secretary Yusuf Juneja,who had been associated with Jethava since the organisation was formed in 2006,said this work was close to Jethava’s heart .
