The regional director of Caritas Chittagong, James Gomes, was present at the planting: “We have decided to promote this form of volunteering – he tells AsiaNews – to help create a better world. Trees are environmentally friendly, and let us not forget that they can provide a lot of security. “In fact, the chosen road is always crowded with tourists and during the rainy season, is at high risk of landslides.

At the invitation of the Catholic organization, the Deputy Commissioner of the District, KM Tarikul Islam, planted a “haritaki” tree, whose fruits are considered used in traditional medicine. The official went on to thank Caritas and other NGOs present for their commitment to the environment and security.
