Enviornment

To celebrate Rakshabandhan and promote the conservation of trees, Bihar's CM Nitish Kumar tied rakhis to trees in Patna on August 22. Urging the people to plant saplings, Kumar also said, ''People should save trees, just like they save people...We need to plant trees and save them to conserve the environment.'' Notably, he has been continuing the act since 2012 as a ''Vriksh Raksha Diwas'' or Tree Protection Day.
