Along with the rest of the state, the May Day/Labour Day was celebrated by the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary & Dairy Development (AHV&DD) at the central cattle breeding farm, Nirjuli amidst the presence of officers, staff and guests from other veterinary colleges.
While marking the day, a plantation programme was carried out in the premises adjoining the farm complex in which several species of tree saplings were planted. The plantation programme was carried out to raise greenery around the premises of the farm as well as for afforestation purposes to fight global warming due to the rapid depletion of forest coverage in the state.
