The first monsoon-tree growing ceremony of families of the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Army, Navy and Air) for 2022 took place near Yezin Dam of Zeyathiri Township on 2nd June, attended by Chairman of the State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing who planted a teak sapling.

In his address, the Senior General said tree growing directly or indirectly benefits the growers as well as creates shelter for the people.
