MP CM celebrates his birthday by planting a sapling

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan celebrated his 62nd birthday on Friday by planting a sapling at his residence here, and made an appeal to people to plant trees for saving the planet.

''Planting a tree is a campaign to save the earth. It is a very pious work. I am already on my way to make this holy social campaign a success and I urge people to cooperate with me in it,'' Chouhan was quoted as saying by a government official.

State Congress president Kamal Nath wished Chouhan on his birthday over phone.
