Saturday, 06 June 2020 | PNS | Ranchi

Chief Minister Hemant Soren today said that Jharkhand is a State set up in the lap of nature. “The lush green forests, fields, rivers and streams and natural beauty are the hallmarks of this region. In view of these natural resources, this State is known as Jharkhand. At the present time we all need to be responsible and aware of the environment,” he said while addressing media persons on the occasion of World Environment Day on the premises of Van Bhawan, Doranda, Ranchi on Friday.

The CM said that biodiversity is the vision of the government. “We all have to formulate this vision together. It is the responsibility of all of us to hand over a green area to our future generations. The greener our Jharkhand State will be, the happier life will be for the people of Jharkhand. Anyway, the people of Jharkhand have always been nature lovers,” he said.

Soren said that discussions are being held all over the world at present. “I think this is needed because in the past there has been a lot of messing with the environment,” he added.

The CM said, “Today all of us have gathered on this campus on the occasion of World Environment Day. Today is the day to take a pledge that all people should plant trees on their own level and play their part in the creation of green Jharkhand.”  The CM also planted saplings on the occasion. He also appealed to all media personnel present on the occasion to plant saplings.

On this occasion, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Shashi Nand Keolyar, Chairman of Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board, AK Rastogi, Member Secretary of State Pollution Control Board, Rajeev Lochan Bakshi, Press Advisor to Chief Minister Abhishek Prasad, Senior Pvt Secretary to Chief Minister Sunil Srivastava and other officials were present.
