A large-scale tree plantation campaign was officially launched in Lalmai, Comilla, under the initiative of Comilla-10 (Lalmai-Sadar Dakshin) Member of Parliament Mobashwer Alam Bhuiya. The program, inaugurated on Sunday at Bagmara Girls’ High School, aims to plant one lakh trees during the 2026–2027 fiscal year to combat climate change and promote a greener, livable Bangladesh. The event featured a rally, discussion meeting, and symbolic tree planting, attended by teachers, students, government officials, and local dignitaries.

During his address, MP Mobashwer Alam Bhuiya described climate change as one of humanity’s greatest challenges and emphasized that tree planting is essential for maintaining ecological balance, ensuring clean oxygen, and protecting biodiversity. He urged citizens to plant and nurture at least one tree each. The initiative will cover educational institutions, government and private offices, roadsides, public lands, and homesteads, focusing on fruit-bearing, forest, and medicinal plants.

Organizers believe the program will expand greenery across Lalmai upazila and significantly raise public awareness about environmental conservation.
