CM Saini announces govts target to plant 2.10 crore saplings across Haryana
He gave a call to plant the maximum number of saplings for environmental conservation and to ensure a healthier planet and sustainable future.
The chief minister said, 'With the support of citizens, I am confident that we will surpass this target once again." Addressing a state-�level 'Van Mahotsav' programme organised at Morni in the Panchkula district, Saini also announced that the plantations initiated by the Forest Department will be geo-tagged and regularly mapped using drones each year.
Their growth will be monitored for up to five years to ensure effective implementation and contribute to increasing the forest cover in Haryana. Since October 2014, about 18 crore saplings have been planted across the state, he said.
Saini also appealed to the people of the state to ensure that every family plants at least one tree during this monsoon season.
He said that under the first phase of 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, 1.87 crore saplings have been planted in Haryana, surpassing the target of 1.60 crore saplings.
On this occasion, the chief minister also released two booklets published by the Forest and Wildlife Department, focusing on 'Herbal Vatika' and the development of Nature Trails to promote eco-tourism in the Morni region.
'Van Mahotsav is not just a tree-plantation programme, it is a commitment that reminds us that nature is our life, and protecting it is our foremost duty. Our ancestors taught us the saying, 'Vriksho Rakshati Rakshitah', which means �those who protect trees are, in turn, protected by them," the chief minister added. PTI SUN MNK MNK

Kanpur, Aug 1(PTI) Two coaches of the Muzaffarpur-Sabarmati Jan Sadharan Express derailed near the Panki area between Kanpur and Tundla on Friday, railways said. The incident, which occurred on the busy Delhi-Howrah route, caused a major disruption to train services. According to railway chief public relations officer Shashi Kant Tripathi, the sixth and seventh coaches from the engine came off the tracks with a loud jolt. 'The train was travelling at a low speed at the time, which averted a major tragedy," he said. A few passengers sustained minor injuries and were given first aid at the scene, he added. Passengers who witnessed the incident reported feeling the coaches being suddenly tilted, causing panic. Technical teams and a medical van were immediately dispatched to the site to begin rescue and restoration operations. Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Dinesh Tripathi deployed a team of police force police to supervise the rescue efforts and control the crowd. The derailment disrupted train movement on the Delhi-Howrah route, forcing the North Central Railway (NCR) to divert multiple trains. Normal train movement is expected to resume following the completion of track clearance and a thorough safety inspection, Tripathi said. The railways has formed a committee to investigate the cause of the derailment. PTI COR CDN VN VN view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
