Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha launched Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0, a nationwide campaign to enhance ecological balance and ensure environmental protection, at Maharani Tulsibati Girls' Higher Secondary School in Agartala on Wednesday.

Saha said plants are the sole source of oxygen and that there would be no life on the earth without oxygen.
