Drass, May 15 :In a remarkable display of environmental commitment and community spirit, the Al Hima-laya Green Mission & Research Centre concluded its One Lakh Mega Plantation Drive with a grand ceremony held at Government Degree College, Drass. The campaign saw the successful plantation of 1,02,505 tree saplings across the Kargil district, featuring indigenous and ecologically significant species such as Juniper, Seabuckthorn, Willow, Poplar, and various fruit trees.

The event was graced by Chief Executive Councillor, LAHDC Kargil, Dr. Mohd Jaffer Akhoon, as the Chief Guest. Commending the efforts of JUIAK and the participation of the local community, Dr. Akhoon said, “While this massive plantation is commendable, the true challenge lies ahead. We must now ensure these saplings survive and thrive — they must be nurtured like our own children.”

Deputy Commissioner Kargil, Srikant Balasaheb Suse, IAS, who had been part of the initiative since its conception, expressed satisfaction over the successful execution of the campaign in just a month. He lauded the Al Hima-laya team’s dedication and promised continued administrative backing for its future ecological ventures.

In his keynote address, Sheikh Nazir Mehdi Mohammadi, President of JUIAK Ladakh, officially announced the plantation of over one lakh saplings across Kargil. He emphasized the significance of choosing native species due to their cultural and ecological relevance. Expressing gratitude to all partners — including the District Administration, Forest Department, educational institutions, religious bodies, and countless volunteers — he also revealed that the final phase of the campaign would soon commence in Zanskar Sub-Division.

Several dignitaries also addressed the gathering, including Er. Punchok Tashi, Executive Councillor, LAHDC Kargil; Shree Ram R., IPS, SSP Kargil; Tahir Hussain Zubdav, JKAS, Director, FCS & CA; DFO Shakil Ahmad; Councillor Drass Abdul Samad; and Abdul Wahid, all of whom echoed the significance of sustainable environmental stewardship.

The campaign is a central part of the Al Hima-laya Green Mission, which blends Islamic ecological ethics with contemporary conservation practices. Drawing inspiration from the concept of “Hima” (sacred protected zones) and “Laya” (Himalayas), the initiative envisions Ladakh as a global model for faith-based ecological sustainability.

The event ended with a renewed call for unity and responsibility, with stakeholders pledging long-term care for the planted saplings — a green promise for generations to come.
