Guwahati:Assam is set to potentially make its mark in the world records through a mass tree plantation initiative on September 17. “On September 17, around 40 lakh members of women self-help groups from across the State would be planting two commercially viable saplings each, taking the total to 80 lakh.
The rest (20 lakh or more) would be planted by people belonging to various walks of life such as Anganwadi workers, tea garden workers, government officials, police and forest battalions and members of the general public of the state,” said Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
