Hence, all of us should work together to minimize it.” He urged the engineers present to work towards rain water harvesting and use of solar energy for minimising the pressure on natural resources and pollution. He had also raised the issue of a big environmental problem arising out of electronic waste. He praised the level of plantation inside the works and confirmed that the number of planation inside and outside the works would be increased in the coming days.
