JP Nadda plants sapling on World Environment Day

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Friday planted a sapling at his residence on World Environment Day.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to ensure that flora and fauna thrive and urged people to take a pledge to preserve the planet's rich biodiversity.

He also shared a clip from his last 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, in which he mentioned about conservation of rainwater and protecting the rich diversity of nature.

World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5 every year, and is the United Nations' principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment.
