Forest Conservation Chief Chief Conservation Officer Rakesh Mohan Dobriyal inspects one of the sites identified by the city of Nalgonda for the planting of 100,000 saplings.
Nalgonda: On November 19, 100,000 saplings will be planted in the town of Nalgonda to increase the green coverage.
Chief Chief Forest Conservation Officer Rakesh Mohan Dobriyal told a joint meeting of forest officials and Nalgonda City here that the plan to plant 100,000 saplings a day is aimed at creating a healthy atmosphere in the town by increasing green coverage. Officials have identified the location of the plantation. Saplings will not be planted in open spaces on the outskirts of towns, but in open spaces available to the colony. This will create a pleasant atmosphere in the future colony, he added.
He directed officials to erect fences to protect the plantations, saying city officials should follow the advice of forest officials when planting saplings in the middle of roads. The saplings should be provided with a tree guard and planted in an open place to ensure the survival of the saplings. Watering should start from the first day the saplings are planted, he said.
District collector T Vinay Krishna Reddy said the work of digging holes to plant 100,000 saplings in 10 identified locations was almost complete. Thematic plantations will also be planted in some areas of Nalgonda to beautify the town, he added.
The road widening project in Nalgonda will be completed within six months, he said, with tree-lined roads being planted along 35 kilometers of roads in the town.
Forest Conservator Shivani Dongre, Nalgonda Municipal Commissioner and Dr Ramana Chary were also present.
