Monitor growth of saplings, District Collector tells officials.
District Collector Yogitha Rana directed the change agents to take steps to protect the saplings that were planted during the recent Haritha Haram programme in the district.
Nizamabad: District Collector Yogitha Rana directed the change agents to take steps to protect the saplings that were planted during the recent Haritha Haram programme in the district.
Participating in a review meeting on Haritha Haram programme with the change agents at the Collectorate in the town on Wednesday, she said that it was not only important to plant the saplings but to ensure that fencing arrangements were made around them so that they grow up well without being eaten up by goats.
They should also be watered regularly so that they do not wither away, she added.
The District Collector said that each government representative should take steps to plant 40,000 saplings in each village and their growth should be supervised regularly.
She said that iron meshes should be used for fencing to protect the plants. The workers should set-up the meshes, she added. She said that as 50 per cent of the works relating to the transplantation of paddy crops were already completed, at least one lakh labourers were required but only 20,000 of them turned up.
Collector Rana directed the DWMA project director to take stringent action against field assistants if they failed to mobilize the required number of workers for completing the tasks.
She said that the officials have sent reports that 95 per cent of the saplings were still alive and steps should be taken to prevent the remaining 5 per cent of the saplings from withering away.
The District Collector said that more saplings should be planted in the government, private sector organisations and in grave yards as the chances of their survival were more in such areas.
The officials should speed up their activities to reach their fixed targets, she added. Each officer should tour the villages with his team to examine the condition of the saplings that were planted, she said.
Earlier, she held a video conference with the mandal level officials to review the status of the saplings that were planted in the villages.
Joint Collector A Ravinder Reddy, project directors Venkateshwar and Chandramohan Reddy, district forest officers Joji and others were present.
