BENGALURU: Over 500 Intel India employees gathered at 10 locations across Bengaluru in the morning of December 14 to participate in a ‘plogging’ event as part of their employee volunteering programme, Intel Involved.
Organised in collaboration with non-profit organisation, Let’s Be The Change, the event had the support of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike and the Bengaluru City Police.
