Telangana to plant 1 lakh saplings on August 1

CM to launch plantation drive in Gajwel from Aug. 1

Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao will launch a drive to plant 1,00,116 saplings in Gajwel town on August 1 as part of the Haritha Haram project. In addition to this, the CM has also issued orders to plant 20,000 more saplings in the forest areas on the same day.

Mr Rao has urged public representatives, government officials, police personnel, students, businessmen and common people to take part in the drive.



The required number of saplings are to be reached to the houses a day in advance. Among the saplings to be distributed to the people there shall necessarily be fruit bearing and flower bearing trees. On 1st of August 2018 at the appointed time of launching the programme siren in all the masjids in the Gajwel town should be blown simultaneously. Immediately on hearing the sound of the siren, along with the Chief Minister, all over the town, everyone should plant at a time where ever they are. People should be educated adequately on this programme through public address system, wall writings, hoardings, paints etc.

“In the ratio of human beings and plants India is lagging far behind. The ratio of this in Canada is 8,953 on an average for each person, in Russia it is 4,465, in USA 716, in China 102 where as in India it is just 28 trees per person. This is leading to ecological imbalances and increase of temperatures. This is the reason why we have taken up Telanganaku Haritha Haram programme in a mission mode. We are aiming at 33% of Greenery. The whole official machinery to strive hard to increase the greenery. Rejuvenation of the forest through plantation should take place. Plantation of saplings and safeguarding of trees should be of primary importance. There is no dearth of funds for this programme and NREGA funds should also be utilized for this purpose” said CM.
