PM calls for afforestation
Marking World Environment Day, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi planted a “Tree for Peace” at Indira Gandhi’s memorial, Shakti Sthal, and called for a nationwide movement to protect and restore the environment. Describing the sapling as “putraiva” (giver of life to progeny), he warned against the destruction of natural resources, saying it led to wastelands, salinity, erosion and drought. He particularly emphasised educating children about environmental conservation.
