Great initiative , But where is the 1m social distancing ? Mask not worn properly and its not noticed.. Is it only to make green petta and fort or a covid hub too ?

Good luck in implementing your tree planting program. Once the plants are planted please ensure that the trees are nurtured until the roots are embedded.

We thought all events and programs were banned. It’s things like this that the government allows that the people don’t listen to any restrictions, guidelines or rules!!! after all there is no proper example set from the leaders or authorities that the public can follow.

Oxygen is needed for Covid 19 patients. Is this hurried tree planting campaign to meet this need ?
