BHALWAL: Emphasising the crucial importance of maintaining the ecosystem for the overall good of humanity, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana on Thursday recalled the relationship between human beings and ecology since the Vedic times, saying that a good environment is indispensable for a healthy life.

The youth in particular should be engaged in such discourses to make them understand the crucial importance of a healthy and fit body for having a calm mind. Taking care of health is imperative before it is too late and to make it achievable, the awakening campaigns are of immense importance, he added.
