It is only due to your (mere) invitation/request that there is a lack of trees and plants on the hills. As a result, we are not getting rain on time. Also, due to deforestation, wood, leaves, or roots, which were helpful for our survival, are not available. Therefore, we request the government to plant trees and plants in our forests as part of afforestation. And if some assistance was provided, it would have been good. Proper management.
