Tree Fair Held in Mymensingh
Mabrur Atiqi, Dhaka, 09 July: A month-long tree fair has begun at Mymensingh
Stadium recently with the slogan "Plant trees, save the environment."
It has been jointly organized by the local administration and the Department of
Social Forestation. The tree fair was inaugurated yesterday by the local Member
of Parliament. It was also addressed by some other renowned speakers, who
underscored the need for planting more trees including fruit and medicinal
plants for maintaining ecological balance as well as achieving economic
solvency.
The
chief guest in his speech stressed the need for planting trees in large number
so that we can save our environment from the after-effects of climate change
and natural disasters. A huge procession paraded the streets of the town after
the inaugural ceremony. Various government and non-government organisations and
private nursery owners have set up about 100 stalls displaying saplings of over
150 varieties including fruit, wood, and medicinal trees on. Cultural functions
are being arranged at every night to inspire people to plant trees on the banks
of the ponds, canals, beside the roads and court yards.
In
fact, it is a wonderful tree fair that is inspiring the people to plant trees
more and more. The participants are also inspired to see the eagerness of the
people to plant trees.
