Arrows greet greens

Environmentalists and green-advocates voyage to Majher Char Island in Guptipara to plant trees turned into a river battle when villagers, led by a panchayat pradhan, attacked them with arrows and brickbats. The Green Bench had ordered plantation of saplings in the island to compensate for the destruction of greenery by the local panchayat.
