In a different kind of Pride March, members of the LGBTQI community participated in a Mithi river clean-up activity, on Sunday. It was organised by Beach Please, a youth initiative works to clean beaches in the city, and the Mithi river.

Shreegauri Sawant, an eminent transgender activist, who is also a petitioner of transgender rights in the Supreme Court, participated in the activity. "As transgenders, we have always been considered as trash most of our lives, even by our families. We are thrown away. Society does not understand that we are equally part of it and throwing us away is only going to add to issues. When Beach Please approached me about participation, I could immediately connect with the idea," said Sawant.
