New Delhi [India], June 5 (ANI): On the occasion of World Environment Day on Saturday, South Goa District police planted saplings at police stations, outposts and police quarters.
"South Goa district police made their contribution to the world environment by planting saplings of local varieties at every police station, police outpost and police quarters," an official statement said.
The police said that every person should renew their bond with nature, by planting saplings and taking environmentally sound decisions.
