Delhi LG Leads Large-Scale Tree Plantation Drive Across City
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) conducted a large-scale plantation drive, planting over 100,000 native trees and shrubs across 77 locations in Delhi, led by Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu. Around 200 participants, including students, residents, and morning walkers, joined the event at Kamla Nehru Ridge. The LG emphasized making afforestation a sustained, youth-driven movement and directed the DDA to ensure sapling survival by appointing nodal officers. The drive is part of the broader 70 Lakh Plantation Mission aimed at expanding Delhi's green cover.
