Everyone must plant a tree
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan planted Guava, Amla, Jamun and Mango saplings along with his family in Mukki Gate complex. He said that trees not only give us life, but also increase the ground water level by absorbing rainwater and also provide water in the form of rain. Trees give shelter to birds. Along with this, they are also the abode for many living beings like insects and moths. We should plant trees for the coming generations and a secure life. He urged everyone to plant trees. Trees should be planted on weddings, birthdays, the death anniversary of parents and on other occasions.
