 Sh. Surender Kumar Asst. Comdt.  Addressing to the gathering public that Tree Plantation is one of the best activities for making the planet greener, livelier, and healthier, Tree Plantation drives combat many environmental issues like deforestation, erosion of soil, desertification in semi-arid areas, global warming and hence enhancing the beauty and balance of the environment. Trees absorb harmful gases and emit oxygen resulting in an increase in oxygen supply. Just planting the saplings and letting nature take care of the rest will not help. It is our duty as good dedicated citizens to look after these saplings and water them. Besides this, trees cause rains which are as necessary as air. They give us a beautiful landscape and help in the ecological balance of nature, also thanked the participants and encouraged his troops to participate in the drive for a better future. Lastly he appeal to the local people that forest is the lungs of nature, which need to be cleaned for a healthy and sustainable society. Tea and snacks were also served to the gathering.
