Hariyali Mahotsav celebrated in Tamenglong
Celebrating the spirit of "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”, 44 Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ 22 Sector AR/ IGAR (East) celebrated ‘Hariyali Mahotsav’ by organising plantation drive at its outpost locations across Tamenglong and Kangpokpi district.
The unit also revisited its previously planted saplings at seven km long ‘Rani Gaidinliu Vatika’ along NH137, to ascertain their growth, nutritional requirements, cutting, pruning and weeding process. The event witnessed jawans of the unit planting fresh saplings to replace the dead ones.
One of the objective of this drive was to spread awareness among locals and troops about importance of trees and also of the secondary advantages acquired like prevention of soil erosion and landslides. These saplings included local varieties like Parkia (Bitter bean), Palm, Orange, Tamarind, Lemon, Guava and Jackfruit. The fragile ecology of Tamenglong requires concrete efforts by all residents at all levels.
The level of recent developmental works in the district has brought a new challenge for residents. Similar plantation drive were organised by the unit at outpost location in Kangpokpi district. Spreading awareness and working together with locals, Assam Rifles desires to initiate a change, a change for sustainable development alongwith balancing the ecology of the region.
