BHAKTAPUR: Minister for Environment, Science and Technology Keshav Man Shakya has said the growing deforestation has caused landslides and floods with the loss of life and properties.

If we don't continue tree plantation, we will see more calamities in future, he warned. Minister Shakya pointed out the need of launching 'one person one tree' campaign to restore greenery in the country.
As many 200 tree saplings of various species were planted as per the programme organised by the Balkumari and Bishnu Bir Community Forest Users' Group.
