Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year to spread awareness about crucial environmental issues, including the rampant increase in pollution, global warming, and deforestation, which destroy the planet. On the occasion, Nagaland minister Temjen Imna Along, who is well-known for his amusing social media posts, composed a sweet yet impactful letter highlighting the importance of Earth Day. In the subject of the letter, he asked everyone to think about the smell of the earth after rain.
He wrote, ''Don't you like the smell of soil when it rains? Then, take responsibility of your future on this Earth Day and protect nature. Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.'' He signed the letter saying, ''Aapka cute sa Temjen (Yours cute Temjen).''
