“It is high time for us as well as the world to pay proper attention to proper disposal of trash which generates radiation and poses danger to the environment. So we could check it by planting at least one tree in our house”, said Dr Singh.
Dr Jitendra Aryan, on the occasion, said that it is a matter of concern that in the name of development, an indirect war is being launched against nature which has posed a major danger to the existence of the earth.
