In a major environmental initiative, seers and sages embarked on a massive tree plantation drive on Tuesday across 140 acres in Vrindavan, along the Yamuna River. The effort, focusing on Panchavati tree varieties, aims to bolster the local ecosystem and mitigate climate change impacts.

Addressing participants, Dr. Arun Kumar Saxena, the Minister of State for Forests, Environment, Forest Conservation, and Climate Change, emphasized the critical role trees play in maintaining a healthy environment. Saxena pointed out that a clean environment is essential for human progress and called on citizens to engage actively in tree planting efforts to combat rising global temperatures.
