“We have also appointed one person per tree to take care of the saplings which have been planted by our workers. We have now decided to make water bodies free from plastic and Vasco BJP under the leadership of Vasco MLA Carlos Almeida will take the initiative to make Baina beach plastic-free," said Naik.
President of Mormugao BJP Mahila Morcha Supriya Naik said about 60-80 women had participated in the event.
