"There will be a huge presence of international communities and press during the fair. We'll utilize the occasion to generate a 'save the planet' campaign worldwide," he added.

According to reports, the anti-global warming campaign of the Naga Sadhus will reportedly include signs with statements like 'Stop Global Warming', 'Save the Himalayas' written in different languages.
