CM Nayab Singh Saini emphasized the importance of planting trees for a clean environment, urging everyone to plant at least one tree. He stated that a greater number of trees would lead to a cleaner environment.
The CM planted the tree under ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign on Sunday at Radha Soami Dera Sikanderpur in Sirsa district, on the occasion of Guru Purnima. The campaign aims to protect the environment and prevent pollution through tree planting. The Chief Minister, along with Radha Soami Dera volunteers, planted 20,000 saplings to send a message against environmental pollution.
Saini expressed his pleasure that the Dera is participating in initiatives for both human welfare and environmental protection. He praised the efforts of the Dera volunteers. He emphasized the need to focus on environmental purity alongside serving humanity. Trees and forests play a significant role in keeping the soil fertile for agriculture. Therefore, it is essential to plant more trees, develop forests, and protect the plants. The more trees there are, the cleaner our environment will be.
The CM announced that the state govt will appoint 50,000 ‘Van Mitras’ to protect the environment.
