Member of Parliament Harsimrat Kaur Badal today called upon the people of Punjab to celebrate the month of 'Saawan' by taking a vow to educate the girl child besides planting maximum number of trees.
The MP said festivals like 'Teej' witnessed a deep relationship between girls and trees. She said the glory of this festival was lost somewhere as the ratio of girls and trees to the population had decreased.
Giving an account of her visit to the Bathinda parliamentary constituency, Harsimrat said in the month of 'Saawan', her primary motive was to share the message of 'Nanhi Chhaan' campaign with the people of the constituency besides hearing their grievances.
The MP exhorted people to adopt at least one plant to protect it.
She added that protecting the girl child and planting a sapling would not serve the purpose unless they were provided with an environment to flourish.
