Punjab CM Amarinder Singh calls for saving future generations from environment pollution

Chandigarh, Nov 6 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday set the tone for the historic Special Session of the Assembly, to mark the 550th Prakash Purb of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji, with a call for the protection of the nature to save the future generations from the devastating effects of environmental pollution.

Recalling the great Guru’s ideology "Pavan Guru, Pani Pita, Mata Dharat Mahat" (Air is the guru, water the father, and earth the mother), he underlined the intrinsic bond between nature and mankind.

This ideology needs to be preserved in letter and spirit to ensure that the future generations do not suffer from deadly diseases due to environmental pollution, as is evident from the prevailing air pollution which has degraded the quality in the entire northern region, including the National Capital, he said.


 Amarinder appealed to one and all to preserve nature and natural resources, to make Punjab clean, green and pollution free, in line with the Guru’s philosophy, by making optimal use of ground water, diversifying into less water-intensive crops, not burning paddy straw and checking use of chemical fertilizers.
