Delhi's Ambitious Green Vision: A 70 Lakh Trees Mission

Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has announced an ambitious target under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to plant over 70 lakh trees by 2027 as part of the Green Action Plan. This mission involves a coordinated effort with 22 departments and aims to bolster the capital's green cover.

Sirsa emphasized that the initiative is not merely about planting trees but symbolizes a commitment to crafting a cleaner, healthier, and greener future for Delhi. The government's strategy involves more than controlling pollution; it is focused on rapidly increasing urban greenery, which is a shared responsibility among residents and officials.

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Ek Ped Maa ke Naam' campaign, this project strives to enhance the green cover in the capital through multi-layer plantation strategies. During a press conference, Chief Minister Gupta highlighted that 'Viksit Delhi, Harit Delhi' signifies more than a slogan; it's a government vision promoting prosperity and environmental safety for the populace.
