In this program organized on Tuesday (August 4) afternoon, saplings of various species of fruit, forest and medicinal trees were planted from the premises of the Kurigram District Election Officer’s office to the premises of the Government Women’s College.
The program was attended by the chief guest, District Council Administrator Sohel Hossain Kaikobad.

Tree lover Anwar said, “Today’s tree is the foundation of a safe environment for the next generation. If we all come forward to plant trees from our respective positions, then the country will be greener and more livable.” He expressed his determination to continuously conduct such environmentally friendly programs in the future as well.
