66 million trees planted in 12 hours!

The Dhaka Times Desk To protect the environment, tree planting programs are now held in many countries of the world. However, Madhya Pradesh of India has taken this program to a different level.

Last Sunday, 66 million saplings were planted there in just 12 hours. About 1.5 million people participate in this program run by the Madhya Pradesh government. These trees are planted along the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh.

It should be noted that last year, another Indian state, Uttar Pradesh, set a world record by planting 50 million trees in 1 day. The Guinness Book of Records has observed Madhya Pradesh's tree plantation program, and is expected to recognize it as a new world record within weeks.

In this program, 20 species of trees were planted across 24 districts along Narmada river. Children and old people also had spontaneous participation here.
