Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao has exhorted the people to accomplish ‘Jungle Bachao, Jungle Badhao’ with utmost dedication. For, visualising a society without forests, environment and green cover was unreasonable, he said.
Considering the importance of preservation of environment, the State government had formulated action plans in this direction soon after the formation of Telangana. “We are witnessing the results of the government’s commitment and perseverance in just a decade,” he said.
In a message marking Forests Martyrs’ Day on Monday, the Chief Minister recalled that 22 officers and staff of the department had lost their lives in the line of duty, and conveyed heartfelt tributes to the departed. They performed their duties on a mission mode to save forests and their commitment was inspiration to all, Mr.Rao said.
