Imphal, August 13 2015:
12 BIHAR of 9 Sector AR under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a "Go Green Drive" on Thursday at Wangoi village of Imphal West on the occasion of Patriots Day.
Around 300 saplings, including fruit bearing, medicinal and ornamental trees of different varieties were planted during the drive.
A large number of villagers from Wangoi took part in the drive with enthusiasm along with the troops of 12 BIHAR.
On the occasion, the local populace was made aware of the significance of trees in human lives and was also educated on its conservation.
During the occasion Commanding Officer 12 BIHAR stressed that the forest cover in Manipur is depleting quite rapidly due to large scale cutting of trees while regeneration process is below the satisfactory level.
Thus, the plantation drive was a small but an imperative measure towards a greener, healthier and environment friendly Manipur.
