Ruhin Hossain Prince said that trees are being cut down everywhere in the name of development. Cutting down trees has become a state policy.
All political parties and individuals should come together for an eco-friendly movement focused on environmental protection.
Alamgir Kabir, coordinator of Green Voice, said, “Life is impossible without oxygen. And trees are keeping us alive by providing oxygen. And these oxygen-providing trees are being cut down in the name of development.
The government should take legal action against anyone harming the environment for personal gain, religious reasons, or misunderstandings.
