A district-wide tree plantation drive was conducted across government offices and educational institutions, with enthusiastic participation from students, teachers and officials. ADC Silpika Kalita also took part in the drive, reaffirming the administration’s commitment to environmental sustainability and green development.
The highlight of the day was a compelling street play titled ‘Nodir Oxukh,’ performed by Prerona NGO.
