He said that no such amount is happening anywhere in the country, and the aim of increasing the greenary of the state from 24 percent to 33 percent has been started. "At present, the green cover has increased by 7.6 percent to 31.6 percent; These are the figures given by the Centre. CM KCR said that planting saplings should be done keeping the future generations in mind," he said.

He said that forests have been revived and CM KCR has called for a large-scale Harita Haram program on the 21st of this month as part of India's Diamond Jubilee Celebration of Independence and urged everyone to participate. He said It is everyone's responsibility to protect the greenery and to grow plants at home to get good health and a pleasant environment.
