Imphal, August 30 2018:
Thoubal Battalion of 9 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) conducted Vanmahostav drive on 30th August.
The event was organised by Upper Khoripok Company Operating Base at village Lairam Phunka in an endeavour to reiterate the importance of forests and the preservation of the ecosystem.
The Company Commander briefed the villagers about importance of plantation and urged them to plant more saplings to avoid the failure of the ecosystem resulting in a tragedy like the recent Kerala floods which in turn caused immense damage to men and material.
The event was attended by 60 villagers including ladies and children.
Total of 100 saplings were planted.
The Village Chief Secretary and all villagers wholeheartedly thanked Assam Rifles for enlightening them about ill effects of deforestation and pledged in preserving the environment.
