Chief Minister KCR has called upon everyone to work together to achieve the target green coverage of 33% for a green Telangana. On Monday, CM KCR released a message to celebrate Forest Martyrs Day. “We cannot imagine a society without forests, environment and greenery. That is why we have prepared plans for a balanced environment in the early days of the formation of the state. Now we are seeing the results of that determination in Telangana for a decade. The government’s ‘Haritaharam’ program to restore forests and increase greenery has received support from all walks of life. With the growth of greenery even in a concrete jungle like Hyderabad. We are seeing global warming as a result of not taking adequate environmental protection measures. That is why we all have the responsibility to protect the right of future generations to live on this planet. 22 officers and staff who worked with the mission for forest protection lost their lives in the line of duty. My heartfelt tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the protection of forests. In order to keep their aspirations alive, we have to implement the slogan ‘Jungle Bachao-Jungle Badhao’ implemented by the government with sincerity. Everyone in the society should take a pledge in that direction,” said the Chief Minister.
