On the occasion of the World Environment Day, Uttarakhand Police on Saturday started a massive tree plantation campaign at the state level, under which one lakh saplings will be planted in police premises. During the campaign that will end on July 16, saplings will be planted in police stations, outposts, corps and police lines.
Environmentalist Padmabhushan Dr Anil Joshi along with Ashok Kumar, Director General of Police, Uttarakhand started this campaign by planting trees in the Police Headquarters premises.
On this occasion, Dr Joshi addressed the police officers and said, “This is a very difficult time for human life, if we do not take care of the environment even now, then destruction is certain. It is everyone’s responsibility, we are responsible for the changes happening in the environment at present, especially the melting of glaciers which is the biggest sign that there is going to be a big crisis on life on earth. Life is becoming difficult in land and water, many species are going extinct.”He congratulated Uttarakhand police for organising such a campaign.
