Raipur: The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force on Friday organised a special one-day plantation drive in Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected districts of Chhattisgarh under the 'All India CAPFs Plantation Drive’.
The initiative came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah planted the fourth crore sapling 'All India CAPFs Plantation Drive’ on Friday in Greater Noida.
Chhattisgarh Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force organised the day-long mega plantation drive in the extreme left LWE-hit areas of the state.
The ITBP has been organising plantation programmes in Rajnandgaon, Mohla-Manpur-Chowki, Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai, Narayanpur and Kondagaon districts of Chhattisgarh in association with the local population.
More than 20,000 saplings were planted by the ITBP units during the day in Chhattisgarh. More than 11 lakh saplings are being planted by the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) across the country today.
Various Company Operating Bases (COBs) of ITBP located in remote LWE-affected areas of Chhattisgarh were linked with other participants live through video conferencing to the venue at Greater Noida where Union Home Minister and Amit Shah planted the four crore saplings of the All India CAPFs Plantation Drive.
The CAPFs have been planting millions of trees during the past couple of months under the campaign for a greener nation.
The campaign was first launched by the Home Minister on July 12, 2020.
Since the launch of the campaign, the CAPFs have been planting varieties of plants from Ladakh to Kanyakumari and from Bhuj to the eastern tip of Arunachal Pradesh.
The one million-strong serving force of the CAPFs has, over a span of four years, done massive plantation exercises including the civil societies, academia and schoolchildren as community plantation drives.
The CAPFs, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Assam Rifles (AR), and the National Security Guard (NSG) have been regularly planting the trees across the country in the past three years.
