Bajali: Shourav Joyti Das, a youth from Assam’s Bajali district, distributed 500 saplings in tribute to renowned Assamese singer Zubeen Garg and his love for nature, planting them at temples and other locations across the district on the occasion of the New Year.
The green initiative aimed to raise awareness about environmental conservation while honoring Zubeen Garg, who has long been admired not only for his music but also for his commitment to nature and social causes.
Notably, all the saplings distributed under the initiative were grown by Das himself on his own farm, reflecting his personal dedication to nurturing the environment.
Temple committees praised the youth for turning a memorial gesture into a meaningful action for a greener future.
Shourav Joyti Das said, “Zubeen Garg has always inspired us to love and protect nature. This small effort of distributing saplings is my way of paying tribute to him. If each of us plants and nurtures even one tree, we can create a greener and healthier future together.”
Locals described the initiative as inspiring, noting that such efforts by the younger generation can play a crucial role in protecting nature and promoting sustainable living across the district.
