Chairing the meeting of Biodiversity district level meeting on Monday, Narender Reddy has appreciated the district level and mandal level committees and elected representatives of the local bodies for the achievement. “We should continue our effort that the district should continue to stand in the first place in the coming years also.

Healthy ecosystems can better withstand and recover from a variety of disasters and pandemics”, he added.

He has also underlined the need to encourage organic farming by supplying required assistance to them. Stressing the need to discourage usage of plastic covers and items by the people, he opined that awareness programmes should be conducted extensively in the villages to educate the people how the plastic would pollute the environment. The officials should also take up special drives to counsel the merchants not to avoid use of plastic carry bags.
