Everyone must work together to plant trees for the balance of the environment. To maintain a balance between man and nature. Harela festival is a unique festival of interrelationship between human beings and environment. We get many direct and indirect benefits from forests. That is why everyone should join hands to contribute to the conservation of nature. Kothari Mahant Jaswinder Singh Maharaj of Shri Panchayati Akhara Nirmal said that Harela festival is a symbol of human love towards nature. At present, everyone will have to be aware and make concerted efforts for environmental protection and promotion, only then our future can be transformed. During the Corona period, lakhs of people lost their lives due to lack of oxygen. The entire human race should learn from this and plant more and more trees in their lifetime. Today, due to the increasing population, trees are being cut everywhere. Trees should be protected by showing awareness to the society. Along with this, the environment should be made green by planting more and more trees on the roadside and vacant places.

Environmental protection is the responsibility of every person.
