Chakhesang Public Organisation resolves to plant trees every year

DIMAPUR — In an effort to conserve the environment as well as contribute to building a more sustainable world, the Chakhesang Public Organisation (CPO) has unanimously resolved to strive towards maintaining ecological balance by engaging in tree plantation.

“Henceforth, tree plantation drive will be organised every year on June 5, coinciding with the World Environment Day, involving the entire community,” stated the CPO, while directing all Chakhesang villages to participate in this noble endeavour.

“Each village is encouraged to organise its own event and plant a minimum of 500 trees, focusing on indigenous species that are well-suited to our local ecosystem. The villages along the highways are additionally tasked to organise maintenance activities such as weeding and protection for the trees planted last year,” it added.

The Chakhesang apex body further urged the village leaders to mobilize resources and actively engage community members, including youth and student bodies, women associations and local self-help groups to ensure the success of the initiative.
