Talo, Nov 17: Minister Home Bamang Felix advocated for accelerating the changes required to fight climate change and fostering an environment of responsible choices within society while declaring the 7th General Conference of Talo Literature and Cultural Society (TLCS) open at the general ground Talo on Tuesday.
“Global warming is a global emergency that goes beyond borders. It is an issue that requires coordinated solutions at all levels,” he added while stating that reforestation and ecosystem protection can slow the global warming.
Donating five months of his salary for afforestation activities in the area, he said that Talo being a part of the catchment area for supplying water to places like Joram, Yachuli etc needs to strategise and focus on economical activities that are sustainable and doesn’t harm the forest cover of this area.
“An intellectual body like the TLCS will have to motivate and guide the people in this line,” he added.
He further requested TLCS to root out the money culture during the elections.
DIGP Kime Aya,IPS and Deputy Commissioner Somcha Lowang also spoke on the occasion.
Meritorious students, achievers in various fields from Talo village were also felicitated during the program.
On the occasion, Felix also inaugurated an indoor badminton court; which has been constructed by TLCS through their available resources.
The Minister earlier unveiled two sanctity pillars; the pillar of “HOPE” at Government Higher Secondary school Talo and the “Unity in Diversity” pillar at the general ground Talo.
It is worth mentioning here that Talo village has a very heterogeneous society. 19 clans have lived together with vibrant socio coexistence since centuries. The “Unity in diversity pillar" signifies this peaceful co-existence.
The theme for the 7th TLCS Conference is “Green and Vibrant Talo”. The society will deliberate on leading the villagers from hunting to conservation and protection of the natural resources.
