A plantation programme was organised near Sankh River on the occasion of Van-Mahotsav. The chief guest on the eve was MoS Rural Development-cum-local MP Sudarshan Bhagat.
Bhagat appealed the people to plant saplings and said, “Trees are very important for environment. These are the foundation of our world. They release oxygen and help to make the land fertile. Tree and plants are the sources of many life-saving drugs and medicines. They also guard us against pollution.” He also described the plans related to forestation run by the central Government.
DFO Vikas Kumar told about protection of trees and the action taken against the illegal cutting of woods. On the occasion BJP district head Rajmohan Ram, chairman of Mati Kala Board Sri Chand Prajapati and many others were present. They also took part in plantation of saplings at several places.
