Marking the World Environment Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked the nation to take a pledge to collectively work towards conserving the environment resources, adding that the Earth should be kept clean and green.
In a series of tweets, Prime Minister Modi said that this day was a commitment to protect the environment and live in harmony with the nature.
