Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Ali Hossain Fakir has inaugurated a tree-planting programme by Bangladesh Police as part of the government's initiative to plant 25 crore trees over five years.
The IGP launched the programme this Monday morning by planting a sapling on the premises of Police Headquarters in Dhaka, according to a press release.
The programme is part of the government's broader effort to expand tree cover and promote environmental conservation across the country.
Under the programme, saplings of fruit-bearing, timber, medicinal and ornamental trees will be planted at suitable locations across all units of Bangladesh Police, including police barracks, residential areas and office compounds.
The initiative aims to encourage participation in the government's tree-planting drive, help maintain environmental balance and increase the country's forest resources, the press release said.
