Dr. Zubaida Rahman, wife of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has called for promoting green afforestation through active public participation rather than through conventional approaches.
She made the remark while inaugurating a month-long tree-planting campaign at the Department of Botany of Dhaka University on Wednesday morning, marking the 45th martyrdom anniversary of former President Ziaur Rahman.
However, Dr. Zubaida Rahman serves as Vice President of Ziaur Rahman Foundation.
The program was launched with the planting of three trees in the Curzon Hall area of the university campus.
