In a sobering message, Wangchuk said, “Our planet is on fire, and we are not taking any action to save it. It is high time that people take buckets in their hands to douse the fire,” he said. His metaphor vividly depicted the urgency of addressing global warming and environmental degradation.

Wangchuk urged Nagpur residents to take immediate, tangible steps to mitigate environmental issues. He encouraged the adoption of sustainable practices, active participation in local green initiatives, and holding authorities accountable for ecological preservation.
