The initiative is a part of district administration’s mega plantation drive that aims at boosting green cover in the city.

The DM said under the drive, government offices have been asked to plant fruit-bearing saplings in the schools.

Besides, the administration also has big plans to carry out the drive in other parts of the city.

The DM has ordered all government officials to plant one sapling for every family member.

“It should be ensured that the plant is of medicinal value or fruit bearing plant,” he added.

The DM also directed government departments to carry out plantation drive in around 5km stretch along river Gomti.

“The efforts will surely add to the city’s green cover. Each plant would be tracked through GPS and should be uploaded on my tree application,” the DM said.
