Karimnagar (Telangana), July 15 (UNI) Telangana Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar emphasized the importance of planting saplings to ensure the health and well-being of future generations.

Minister Prabhakar called for geo-tagging each plant and reiterated that the planting program is not just a government initiative but a people’s program, aimed at protecting the future generation as a social responsibility.
