Friday, June 5, 2026 (Nokinketer News): World Environment Day 2026 was observed at NSSA Park, Nagaland Civil Secretariat, under the aegis of the Eco & Beautification Club and NSSA. The programme was graced by, Home Commissioner Nagaland, Abhijit Sinha, IAS.

Addressing the gathering, Sinha spoke about the importance of protecting the environment and the growing impact of climate change. He noted that while development depends on natural resources, overconsumption has put increasing pressure on nature’s ability to replenish itself, leading to environment challenges that are now visible around the world.

Emphasizing that collective effort, however small, can make a significant difference in protecting the environment. Sinha urged people, especially the younger generation, to adopt sustainable habits and make small meaningful changes in their daily lives, such as reducing waste, conserving resources, and using public transport whenever possible.

Calling for action beyond annual observance, he encouraged participants to take personal responsibility for environmental conservation and to pass on eco-friendly practices to future generations.

The programme also featured the distribution of free plants and seeds, along with stalls, eco-friendly products, and initiatives.
