Mahipur Range Officer AKM Moniruzzaman, Gangamati and Ecopark Beat Officer Abdur Razzak and other forest department officials were present at the time.
The trees planted earlier in Char Bijoy, such as Jhau, Dhanshi, Sundari, Keora and a wide grass cover, are already visible. Forest department officials hope that if afforestation activities are continued continuously, Char Bijoy will one day become a natural forest and a sanctuary for migratory birds. An injured seagull was rescued during the program. Later, the bird was handed over to Bayezid Munshi, a member of 'Animal Lovers Patuakhali', for intensive care.
