নিজে হাতে গাছ লাগালেন মন্ত্রী, দেড় কোটি ম্যানগ্রোভের টার্গেট

According to Ei Samay, a government minister has participated in a tree-planting initiative as part of a broader environmental campaign aimed at increasing the region's mangrove cover. The project sets an ambitious target of planting 1.5 crore (15 million) mangrove saplings to bolster coastal protection and ecological restoration efforts.

Mangroves play a critical role in the region's ecosystem, acting as natural barriers against storm surges and soil erosion while providing essential habitats for marine life. The initiative highlights the government's ongoing commitment to climate resilience and the preservation of coastal biodiversity in the face of rising environmental challenges.

While the minister's personal involvement in the planting event serves to raise public awareness, the project is part of a larger, structured state-led environmental program. Officials have indicated that the effort will involve local community participation and forestry department oversight to ensure the survival and growth of the newly planted saplings in the coming years.
