Tiruchi
By Our Staff Reporter
TIRUCHI, JAN. 16. The Manapparai Co-operative Marketing Society organised a mass saplings-planting campaign at its premises recently in connection with the Pongal festival. The joint registrar of Co-operative Societies, R. Ambikeswaran, inaugurated the campaign at the two-acre land owned by the society. Speaking on the occasion, he said trees played an integral role in protecting the environment as well as preserving and increasing groundwater table level. The State Government was also taking effective steps to increase the forest cover. The innovative venture to plant neem trees at the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Banks was a good step towards environmental conservation and afforestation, Ambikeswaran said. A neem saplings' nursery was being maintained by the Manapparai Co-operative Marketing Society, which supplied saplings to public at a reasonable rate of Rs. four each, he said and urged the public to take full advantage of the campaign and come forward to participate in the efforts to make Manapparai greener by planting more saplings.
