he only way in which we can prevent ourselves Tfrom the harmful carbon emissions is to plant more and more trees. The Forest department, under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has been working in this direction and planted 22 crore saplings in a single day last year. This was said by Minister for Forest and Environment Dara Singh Chauhan at the closing cer- emony of Sanrakshan Kshamta Mahotsav, held at the Tourism auditorium on Saturday. It was the closing ceremony and the conclusion of the month-long activities which were organised by Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum for spreading awareness amongst the general pub- lic about the need of energy conservation. Winners of the various competitions were also felicitated on the occasion. Addressing the audience, the minister said: “One litre of petrol emits two-and- a-half kg of carbon dioxide, which is very harmful. The entire world is greatly concerned about the issue of climate change and it is only when campaigns like this carried out by PCRA become a revolution that this problem will get solved.” The minister stressed on the fact that the ancient wise men had set up rules which could be understood by the ordinary rural per- son for helping stop the felling of the trees. Inviting the various oil companies to have an MoU signed with the Forest department in the direc- tion of curbing carbon emission, he said the prob- lem needs to be resolved, otherwise people will end up carrying the oxygen cylinder on their back. The minister was earlier welcomed by state-level coor- dinator Arun Kumar Ganju, state head (Retail) of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited Rajeev Jaiswal, and others. '1      &  >&

istrict Magistrate Abhishek Prakash presided Dover a review meeting of the census which is to be carried out in the district. The DM said the cen- sus work is important because it is held once in every ten years and it should be carried out with the coop- eration of all the departments on priority. The DM said that the census will be totally paperless this year. He pointed out that the additional municipal commissioner had been chosen as the nodal officer for the census. He said the departments which have not provided the data should do it and coordinate amongst themselves. It may be noted that house listing and housing census, which forms the part of the first phase, will begin on May 16. The house listing and housing census is carried out one year prior to the actual cen- sus exercise. Officials said that in the second phase, population will be enumerated. “The second phase is fixed for the entire coun- try by the the Central government from February 8 to 28 next year. The revisional rounds will be car- ried out between March 1 and 5, 2021.      +,- ././  %
