“Monkeys should be sent back to forests and get the rains back to Telangana State”, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has asserted.
In his distinct style of wit and humour, KCR stated at LB Stadium during TRS Plenary, the aim of the flagship program of Harithaharam is very simple. “We have to plant 120 crore saplings in three years to increase greenery to get back rains which will help monkeys to send back to forests”, he said. The previous governments denuded the forests compelling monkeys to migrate to villages and towns, he ridiculed. “Had they not looted the forests, monkeys will not have come to our villages, he said. So to get back rains and send the monkeys back to the forests, we have to take up a massive afforestation program involving farmers, people and students”, KCR stated. “We have to plant 120 crore saplings in four years, including 40,000 in every village from July to August to get back rains.
