Marking the World Environment Day, Yaongyimchen, Alayong and Sanglu villagers planted more than 3500 trees in a stretch of about 9 kilometres.
Deputy Commissioner of Longleng, Dennagan Avennoho also joined the plantation campaign. A short programme was conducted at Namba Point, Yaongyimchen, where the DC acknowledged that the Yaongyimchen Community Biodiversity Conservation Area which started in 2010 has become a district asset. Stating that the satellite tagging of two Amur Falcons, Phom and Longleng, have given the district an honour of finding a space in the global map, he appreciated the single handed initiatives of the Yaongyimchen villagers.
On the occasion, Yaongyimchen Village Council chairman, Yangpong Phom expressed gratitude to the community for their untiring contribution. “We haven’t received any support from any sector and so we should be proud that with our own initiatives, we could contribute for a better environment,” he stated.
Meanwhile, churches under the Phom Baptist Christian Association, Nyengching, Longleng observed Green Environment Sunday on June 4. The campaign started since 2010. The entire worship order including sermons, responsive reading, a play song, poems, prayers of repentance, and thanksgiving are prepared cradled around the occasion.
