POONCH: A plantation drive was today conducted here at the Chief Medical Office Complex, under the twin campaigns of 150 Years of Vande Mataram and Har Ghar Tiranga 2026.

Saplings were planted across the CMO premises as a living tribute to the spirit of Vande Mataram and a concrete contribution towards a greener, healthier Poonch. The initiative underscores the Health Department’s dual commitment — protecting public health through environmental stewardship and strengthening national pride. Every sapling planted today stands as a symbol of unity, sustainability and collective responsibility. The programme reaffirms the district’s resolve to convert patriotic sentiment into tangible action for the environment and the nation.
