Joining him in the plantation drive, UT Chief Secretary Rajeev Verma planted a Nagkesar sapling. Both trees are known for their ecological and cultural significance.

“This event is deeply meaningful in the context of shaping the future of our country. The efforts made to beautify our Earth with greenery—especially by the gardener community—are truly commendable,” the Governor said.
