Dongkamukam: Along with the rest of the world the “World environment Day” was observed at Don Bosco School, Satgaon in West Karbi Anglong with a daylong programme on Wednesday.
On this occasion the students of Don Bosco School had a long march from school to the market area and vice-versa with placards, slogan etc. creating awareness to plant more trees. The chief guest Fr Sebastian Kuricheal Provincial of Guwahati Province, Pan Bazar had an interaction with the students community. He urged the students to plant more trees so that the world would be saved.

If we don't plant trees, the earth’s carbon dioxide content rises, causing global warming, which has a negative impact on the environment. The temperature in Rajasthan has risen to 52 degrees,” he further said.
