Srisailam temple aims to plant 5,000 saplings before end of monsoon
Launching a massive plantation drive, Trust Board chairman says plans have been made to extensively plant saplings in open spaces and gardens maintained by the temple
The Srisailam Temple Trust Board has announced plans to plant 5,000 saplings across the temple premises before the end of the monsoon season as part of their environmental conservation efforts. This initiative was spearheaded by Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu, the Trust Board chairman, and M. Srinivasa Rao, the temple executive officer, along with several board members and special invitees.
The tree plantation drive took place near the local Zilla Parishad High School. Ramesh Naidu announced that a large-scale plantation drive had already begun within the temple area, with plans to extensively plant saplings in open spaces and gardens maintained by the temple. Tree guards would be installed for the planted saplings as needed, and more saplings would be planted along both sides of the ring road.
Additionally, ornamental plants would be added to the temple gardens, with special care given to nurture the saplings and plant shade-bearing trees in open areas. The plantation drive was initiated after a Ganapati puja, followed by a Vruksha puja, during which various sapling varieties were planted, including Kadamba, Tamarind, Banyan, Neem, White Arjun (Tella Maddi), Bauhinia, and Spathodea.
