Engineer of the Division, again led the team and about twenty trollys of
garbage were collected from Students’ Centre. In an uphill task about one
thousand plants were given required treatment and face of the place was
uplifted. The drive continued for four hours and a hearty laugh symbolic to
make the issues look trivial was shared among all as motivational ceremony. Er.
Thakur told the correspondent that there are thousands of plants in the area
and their regular upkeep is duty of all. Er. Aman Singla led the execution of
waste collection. He appreciated the zeal of workers for this pious
drive.

misconceptions about pruning of trees, a much need maintenance routine.
