Twenty water vans run by Apollo Pipes at Kumbh Mela

Leading piping solutions firm Apollo Pipes (APL Apollo Piping Systems) supplied free drinking water for pilgrims in Haridwar Kumbh Mela by sponsoring 20 water vans moving across key Mela areas such as Har ki Pauri and other Ghats.  The Mela witnessed more visitors than usual during the two Shahi Snans on April 12 (Somvati Amavasya) and April 14 (Baisakhi). The water vans came very handy in quenching the thirst of the pilgrims witnessing the Shahi Snans. 

“In the scorching heat, when the temperatures cross mid 40 degrees, visitors find it difficult to access clean drinking water in the Mela. Our moving vans ensured that everyone’s drinking water needs are well taken care of. All our representatives ensured proper sanitisation measures while serving the public,” said Shradha Shukla, Manager, Marketing, Apollo Pipes.

Apollo Pipes also supported the Uttarakhand Police at the Mela by providing 10 water tanks to police camps and 132 barricades for effective traffic management. This CSR activity for Apollo Pipes was conceptualised and executed by Vritti Foundation, the CSR wing of the leading media and marketing services firm Vritti Solutions.
