In a statement, Project "G" event in-charge Riya Langpoklakpam opined that everyone is now aware of the fact that large-scale deforestation and the lack of awareness on tree plantation has led to degradation of the environment.
The mass tree plantation campaign was inaugurated by film actor Gurumayum Bonny Sharma and singer Arbin Soibam, along with the residents of Hiyangthang relief camp, clubs dedicated to protecting Heibok Hill, and Meira Paibi activists from various regions.
The release further stated that failure to protect the environment now will lead to more intense suffering for future generations.
