Haritha Haram phase III from July 12
Minister for Irrigation and Marketing Harish Rao on Wednesday said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao would launch the third phase of the flagship programme Haritha Haram in Karimnagar on July 12 on a massive scale.
Hyderabad: Minister for Irrigation and Marketing Harish Rao on Wednesday said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao would launch the third phase of the flagship programme Haritha Haram in Karimnagar on July 12 on a massive scale.
Harish Rao held a review meeting on the Haritha Haram programme at the State Secretariat along with BC Welfare & Forest Minister Jogu Ramanna, Forest Department Secretary Rajath Kumar and others.
Harish Rao exhorted the officials to make elaborate arrangements for the programme as the Chief Minister was keen on the massive afforestation programme to expand green cover in the State.
Enquiring about the preparations being made for the green drive in Karimnagar and that of other districts, Harish Rao said Haritha Haram was aimed at increasing green cover and attracting more rains besides checking pollution. He asked the officials to shift the saplings from nurseries to the venue points in every district.
Ramanna stressed the need for planting saplings on a massive scale and special measures should be taken to protect them by setting up tree guards and regular watering.
He also asked the officials to strive to make the programme a big success. “Besides plantation, we need to take up steps to involve people in the green drive. The programme so far taken up in the last two phases yielded positive results and there
was a need for steps to protect the saplings after plantation was over, the Minister said.
He asked the officials to ensure that the saplings be shifted to all districts. He said involvement of people was indispensable for the programme. He also directed the officials to distribute saplings to the people as part of the programme.
