Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah is set to kick off a mass tree plantation campaign in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The event will also include the inauguration and foundation stone laying of public infrastructure projects totaling around Rs 405 crore. Shah will commence the day at 8.30 a.m. at the Science Dome in Science City in the Sola area.
The program schedule for the day includes the formal launch of a city-wide plantation campaign under the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s Mission ‘Five Million Trees’ initiative. Various development projects, jointly undertaken by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), and the Roads and Buildings Department, will be inaugurated and have their foundation stones laid during the public program. These projects aim to enhance civic infrastructure throughout the city.
Following the inaugural event, Shah will take part in multiple tree-plantation programs at different locations in Ahmedabad as part of the mass-plantation campaign. The day’s activities include plantation drives in different wards of the city, promoting community participation in the Mission Five Million Trees campaign initiated by the AMC. Shah, who represents the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency in Parliament, is expected to participate in all four scheduled events during his visit to Gujarat on July 12.
