Not taking any chance further, this year and following landscape approach, the forest department has extended awareness programme to whole area surrounding Doyang reservoir.<\/p>\n
Special sermons were given quoting relevant verses from The Holy Bible by the Church Pastors enshrining concept of wise stewardship towards creation of the God. <\/p>\n
