The NTPC Talcher Kaniha observed the World Environment Day at its plant. The programme began with the environment pledge taken by the chief guest, Group General Manager NK Kothari. In his speech, Kothari said, “Protection of environment is important for existence of future generation. Otherwise, the nature will take revenge through various calamities like flood, drought, tsunami and cyclones against us.” The GGM also flagged off the Environmental Awareness Walk in which several employees, their families, associates and school children participated. Besides, a sapling plantation programme was undertaken in which around 120 mango saplings were planted near the Central Park of the township.
