A.P. GREEN chairman urges people to plant trees, enhance green cover
On the day Nagendra Rao, chairman of A.P. Green Executive Committee, assumed his role, he and his wife Padmaja planted peepal and neem trees at Aranyamam in Mangalagiri. The couple encouraged people to plant saplings, protect them, and contribute to increasing green cover in the state.
Mr. Nagababu highlighted the benefits of peepal and neem trees, mentioning their role in maintaining a clean environment and conserving biodiversity. He criticized the previous government's approach, stating that they focused on cutting down trees without compensating for the loss of green cover. He emphasized that India should set an example for other nations by increasing green cover.
Principal Chief Conservator of Forests P.V. Chalapathi Rao provided updates on the Aranyamam project, which was planned to be constructed at a cost of ₹24 crore within 10 months. Rao mentioned that 73 trees previously planned to be removed were successfully transplanted to new locations.
