As part of the year-long celebrations of the 550th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday announced that his Government would undertake an extensive plantation drive by planting 550 saplings in every village of the state by 30 September, 2019.
Amarinder appealed to the people to join the drive, underlining the need to plant more trees to make Punjab clean, green and pollution free.
He asked the people to come forward for making this plantation drive a grand success as this gigantic task could not be accomplished without their active support and participation. The Chief Minister said nearly 66 lakh saplings of seasonal trees would be planted in all the 12700 villages, which would be provided free of cost.
