Kohima, February 29 (MExN): The Fountain Club Kohima has organized a programme on “Forest fire and its impact on environment” as part of NYK Kohima awareness campaign.
Addressing 50 youth participants, including Southern Angami Students’ Union, Phesama Youth Society, Phesama Students’ Union at Merama Community Hall, Phesama, Sidramapa MC (IFS), Divisional Forest Officer of Kohima said one of the major causes of environmental degradation causing scarcity of water in and around Kohima is forest fire and deforestation.
He also stated that water shortage is also due to lack of water storage facilities as “we” have sufficient rainfall of over 2000mm. “If there is a necessity of forest fire let us come out together with proper plan and strategies,” he told the gathering.
The programme was sponsored by NYK Kohima and organized under the leadership of Seyievilie Peter Zashumo, President, Fountain Club, Kohima.
