Shillong, May 6: Tura MDC Bernard N Marak took up an initiative to plant 10,000 trees in Tura constituency and to reach beyond 1 million trees in the entire Garo Hills.
According to Marak, this initiative is aimed to cover the catchment areas which fall under the Nokmas and other water sources which are alarmingly drying up in Garo Hills.
“This is a threat to human life especially the younger generation which will face the consequences if nature is not cared for now. It is a sad fact that nature has been destroyed by human greed and the eco system has been thrown out of balance. The climate change is alarming and it is going to affect the entire world badly in the near future”, Marak said.
The duty of every individual is to care for mother nature and it is the mother nature which will restore the balance, Marak said and added that eco clubs will be formed in colleges, schools and A’kings to take up the plantation mission in Garo Hills. Bernard also invited young people to join the mission to make Meghalaya green and stable.
