On the occasion of his birthday, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat accepted the Green India Challenge of Rajyasabha MP J Santosh Kumar, and planted a sapling at his office in Neredmet on Thursday.
Bhagwat, who celebrated his birthday in a low-key manner, also announced that steps would be taken to plant about 20,000 saplings in the next two months in Commissionerate lands at
Medipally and Yadadri. He also appreciated the Green India Challenge movement started by Santosh Kumar aimed at conservation of soil and water for a safer planet.
The MP, replying to a tweet by Bhagwat, appreciated the gesture, especially the plan to go for 20,000 saplings and said Bhagwat was one of the main pillars of support for the Green India Challenge.
