Nitish ties Rakhi to tree

In a symbolic gesture, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ON Friday tied a rakhi to a tree and said his government is committed to protecting environment and creating awareness among the people about it.
      
Accompanied by his deputy S K Modi, Kumar visited the Rajdhani Vatika (a park) where he tied the rakhi to a tree. "Today, the people of Bihar should pledge that every one of them will plant at least one tree each and tie rachis to trees across the state," he told the gathering.
      
He highlighted steps taken by his government for planting trees under the 'Green Bihar Programme'. Modi, who holds additional charge of forest and environment, too tied rakhis to trees in the park on the occasion.
