SAMBA, JUNE 05: To mark the celebration of World Environment Day, a plantation drive was conducted here today under the theme ‘Connecting people to nature’ during which various saplings were planted alongside National Highway near Veer Bhoomi Park.
Additional Deputy Commissioner, Tilak Raj Sharma, ZSWO, Assistant Floriculture Officer, prominent citizens and residents of the area actively participated in the drive.
Speaking on the occasion, ADC appealed the people to plant more and more trees in their surrounding areas to deal with the situation arising due to rapid climatic change. “Increased tree cover would reduce the solar radiation reaching the ground surface thereby providing relief from the scorching heat being faced in the summer season”, he added.
