Meanwhile, District Collector C Narayan Reddy, IAS, has instructed officials to ensure the timely completion of targets under the 'Vana Mahotsav' programme planned for this season. Addressing officials via video conference, Mr Reddy emphasised that the plantation drive under the 'Vana Mahotsav' programme should be undertaken on a grand scale across the district. 'Saplings should be planted in all government schools, colleges, Primary Health Centres, and other government-affiliated institutions, besides industrial estates and vacant government lands in villages, mandals, and municipalities,' the Collector stated. He urged officials from various departments to collaborate effectively to achieve the target. Mr Reddy also stressed the importance of nurturing the planted saplings, ensuring 'proper fencing and timely watering to ensure their growth.' The Collector warned that the entire plantation programme must be executed with a proactive action plan, and any negligence on the part of officials would not be tolerated.
