Imphal, May 06 2022: Forest, environment and climate change minister Thongam Biswajit Singh on Friday flagged off a motorcycle rally from the campus of Wal United Youth Club, Wangkhei Angom Leikai, here.

The environment campaign for tree plantation will be held for a month covering three districts of the state.

Addressing the gathering as chief guest before the flag-off event, minister Th Biswajit encouraged the people to think and sustainably preserve the natural resources for the future generation.

Biswajit added that nature has given us many resources and we should try to safeguard those limited resources as our primary duty.

The minister then appealed to the youth to make preservation and conservation of nature as their priority and take part in plantation of trees and in spreading awareness among the local people for preventing the fast degrading natural environment.

He gave assurance of extending assistance in any initiatives taken up for safeguarding the environment by Royal Riders Manipur and also promised that he himself would participate in all the activities related to sustaining the nature.

Later, Biswajit flagged off the motorcycle rally which would cover Bishnupur, Imphal East and Kangpokpi districts for the tree plantation campaign.

RK Tombisana, president Royal Riders Manipur, along with 150 Royal Riders from different clubs of Manipur' with the motto "Serving with adventure" participated in the flag-off function.
