Plantation drive at Rumtek

GANGTOK, 26 July: A plantation drive was conducted yesterday from Adampool to Rumtek Monastery initiated by Block Officer, Ranipool Territorial, Bhim Narayan Sharma with the help of Rumtek Gram Panchayat.
Around 1,200 saplings of fruit-bearing trees like guava, mango and cherry were planted on the day.
The BO informed the participants that such plantations have been carried out since 2006 but due to lack of awareness and general carelessness of the people, the plantations have not been successful. He urged the people of the area to take care of these saplings since Rumtek was a tourist spot and such plantations will add to the natural beauty of the area.
