Governor Anandiben Patel of Uttar Pradesh criticized officials on Saturday for their poor arrangements during a tree plantation event. She expressed dissatisfaction over the shallow pits dug and insufficient care given to the plants, highlighting the need for responsibility and adherence to given instructions.
During her address to the officials and participants, Patel stated, 'We should be careful about how trees are planted... It is my nature to reprimand those who do not work properly. It is our responsibility. The pits dug were not deep enough to handle big plants... Who will take care of it, we have to do it.'
She further criticized administrative and forest department officials for failing to ensure proper execution of the event. 'I will not forgive you... It will come in the press tomorrow but it is important to say this,' she added. Patel also pointed out the absence of state ministers Rakesh Rathore Guru and Suresh Rahi, who are from the district. Additionally, she criticized participants and teachers for being more interested in selfies than in understanding their responsibilities.
