Imphal, August 13 2015:
12 Bihar of 9 Sector AR under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a "Go Green Drive" today at Wangoi on the occasion of Patriots Day.
Around 300 saplings including fruit bearing, medicinal and ornamental trees of different varieties were planted during the drive, informed a statement issued by the PRO of IGAR (S) .
A large number of villagers from Wangoi took part in the drive with enthusiasm along with the troops of 12 Bihar.
During the occasion, Commanding Officer of 12 Bihar stressed that the forest cover in Manipur is depleting quite rapidly due to large scale cutting of trees and regeneration process is below the satisfactory level.
Thus, the plantation drive is a small but an imperative measure towards a greener, healthier and environment friendly Manipur.
