At least one crore saplings are to be planted before northeast monsoon sets in
Keeping in mind the onset of the northeast monsoon in the next few months, the Tirupattur administration has kick-started a massive tree planting drive. It plans to plant at least one crore saplings before the monsoon sets in, covering key areas like Ambur, Jolarpet and Vaniyambadi. A beginning to the green drive was made on Tuesday by planting 25,000 saplings in the towns. Along with local non-profit organisations like the Seed Birds Youth Club and the APJ Abdul Kalam Nature Retrieval Trust, the district administration has been spearheading the green campaign in all 195 villages. Separate teams have been formed by the Rural Development Department to monitor the planting drive.
