Sustain trees rather than just planting them, says Mayor Dipak Majumder
Calling for more focus on sustaining trees, Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation Dipak Majumder on Tuesday said there was a bigger need to ensure they survive rather than simply planting them. Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation Dipak Majumder was speaking in a tree plantation drive organized jointly by Nabard Sports and Recreation club and Yuva Vikash Kendra (YVK) on the occasion of World Environment Day 2023 at Umakanta Academy.
“Don’t just plant (trees), but ensure they have a long life,” he said. Nabard Sports and Recreation club and Yuva Vikash Kendra (YVK) will look after these trees for three years which have been planted today, he mentioned. He also appreciated the members of both the organization for organising such initiative.
“We should plant trees on a large scale to protect earth and its environment. We should think about ways to plant more and more trees. But just planting them is not enough. Even if we plant just five or 10 of them, we should ensure their protection,” he added.
