Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said, “I am making three appeals to the general public present in this programme today and to the citizens of the state”. The first appeal is that – every person playing the role of a responsible citizen should participate in protecting the environment. Every person must plant at least one tree in a year. The occasion for planting a tree can be one’s own birthday, family member’s birthday, marriage anniversaries and the death anniversaries of deceased family members. Saplings should also be planted on auspicious occasions like marriages. Let us work together to increase greenery and save the environment. Also help in cleanliness and beautification. No one should do the work of destroying the public property of your city. In the second appeal, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan asked the citizens to protect their own health. In the context of corona, every person has to get both doses of the vaccine as well as use masks and maintain mutual distance. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also talked about saving electricity as a third appeal. He said that the state government is providing subsidy of Rs.21 thousand crores. Due to this, domestic and agricultural consumers are easily getting electricity at the right price. Saving electricity is equivalent to making electricity.
