Expressing concerns over rapid deforestation and highlighting the need to go green, SHS president Nantu Pal said, “In a bid to battle the rising pollution, we are pressing the demand for planting two saplings after uprooting a tree in the city.
Only then we will be to increase greenery in the city and have cleaner air to breathe.” The SHS has been conducting the flower show since 1984, it is learnt.
