Imphal, May 12 2013:
A mass tree plantation drive organised by the Heingang Youth Congress Committee in association with local MLA Nongthombam Biren under the theme "Go green, the green future" which would cover the whole Heingang Assembly segment was kick-started today by planting tree saplings at Potshangbam Khunou, Nillakuthi and the premises of Houkri Hungel Pakhangba.
Speaking at the occasion, MLA N Biren stated that it is the foremost duty of the present generation to plant trees extensively in order to tackle the issue of global warming and global climate change.
It was with this perspective that the campaign to plant trees throughout Heingang AC was taken up.
Tree saplings would be planting across Heingang AC for two months, he added.
