Delhi LG Leads Large-Scale Tree Plantation Drive to Promote Ecological Restoration
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) conducted a large-scale plantation drive, planting over 100,000 native trees and shrubs across 77 locations in Delhi. Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu led the initiative at Kamla Nehru Ridge, joined by around 200 participants including college and school students, morning walkers, and Resident Welfare Association members. The LG emphasized making afforestation a sustained, youth-led movement to restore Delhi's ecology and directed the DDA to replicate such drives across other ridges for long-term environmental benefits.
