On World Environment Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others on Friday pitched for collective efforts to ensure that the planet becomes a better place for future generations.
Taking to Twitter, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote: "On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reiterate our pledge to preserve our planet's rich biodiversity. Let us collectively do whatever possible to ensure the flora and fauna with whom we share the Earth thrive. May we leave an even better planet for the coming generations." He also shared a clip from his last 'Mann Ki Baat' programme where he mentioned about conservation of rainwater and protecting the rich diversity of nature.
On the other hand, Congress party said "This #WorldEnvironmentDay we renew our pledge to protect and preserve the life-giving nature around us and vow to fight against the devastating steps that may lead to its destruction."
Many other politicians too have come forward on World Environment Day to spread awareness.
