In a bid to enter the Guinness World Records, 100 people on Sunday, 29th April, planted 40,885 saplings within an hour near the Chirang Reserve Forest in lower Assam.They wanted to break the record of 26,422 saplings planted in an hour in a Northern Ireland park two years ago.
The event was video-graphed in the presence of three independent observers and the footage would now be sent to Guinness World Records. "Our objective is not just to establish a record. Our motto is 'plant a tree, save a life'. We want to highlight the loss of trees in our area and impress upon the civil society to do its duty to save the forests," said C. Ramesh Kumar, divisional forest officer of Haltugaon Forest Division under the Chirang Reserve Forest.
The Assamese team is hopeful of breaking Northern Ireland’s record. Cheers!
