“The efforts of the workers during this period of global health crisis need to be appreciated with lasting things that would outlive us.

“These trees will outlive us to remind the generation to come of the strides of those heroes of today and to further poise them into taking measures to sustainably use the environment,” she said.

She said that the agency would plant trees in all the COVID-19 Isolation Centres in the state to stand as signposts to the resilience of the frontline workers.
