To build ‘Green Bangladesh’, volunteers have been picked from every village who will be involved in the initiative for the next era, she said.
Addressing the event as the chief guest, Seema Hamid said, "Planting more trees is essential to protect the country from the adverse effects of climate change. The tree plantation programme has to be expanded all over the country.”
