The Pioneer, 9th June, 2008
Bhawanipatna: Vedanta Aluminium Limited, Lanjigarh, observed the World Environment Day with a local theme "Green Lanjigarh." Eminent guests from Vedanta, including Dinesh Mantri, Dr Shailendra Singh, HC Dahiya and JK Mohanty, local farmers and local people's representatives attended the function. A plantation ceremony was organised at Process Water Lake to plant 1,000 saplings of various plant species. The initiative holds significance as the threat to environment in form of carbon emission, hole in ozone layer and global warming has increased tremendously in this decade. The objective of the initiative is to develop a green belt around Lanjigarh through full participation of local people, including farmers, schoolchildren and teachers. The target is to plant 50,000 saplings in and around the plant site. Vedanta has already planted 1,78,000 trees in Niyamgiri Vedanta Nagar, Bhawanipatna and peripheral areas.
