Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, participated in Delhi’s 70 lakh tree plantation initiative by planting a sapling in Model Town. The campaign aims to boost the city’s green cover and involves public participation.
The tree plantation campaign, launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on July 7, is ongoing in various parts of Delhi. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta highlighted the government’s efforts to engage residents in environmental conservation through mass plantation drives.
The initiative encourages citizens to actively contribute to environmental protection by planting trees. People can register online and select convenient time slots to participate in the plantation activities at designated locations across Delhi. The goal is to make tree plantation a widespread movement for ecological sustainability.
The 70 lakh tree plantation drive is part of Delhi’s broader strategy to enhance air quality and greenery. Various government agencies and volunteers are planting saplings in parks, institutional campuses, and other locations. The campaign has garnered significant support from local communities and resident welfare associations, showing a collective effort to achieve the plantation target.
New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal led a mass plantation drive at Gole Market as part of the ‘#EkPedMaaKeNaam OnSunday’ campaign. The initiative, now in its 32nd week, aims to involve the public in environmental conservation under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. Chahal interacted with residents, addressing civic issues and emphasizing citizen participation in conservation efforts.
