Maligaon, June 9 (MExN): The Northeast Frontier Railway Women Welfare Organisation (NFRWWO) organised a tree plantation drive and distributed saplings among students of Jagriti Shiksha Niketan, Pandu, as part of the observance of World Environment Day 2026.
According to a press release issued by the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), the programme was conducted under the leadership of NFRWWO President Shalini Shrivastava and aimed at promoting environmental awareness and encouraging students to participate in conservation efforts.
Saplings were distributed among students with a message on the importance of nurturing trees and adopting sustainable practices for a healthier environment.
