Enhancing green cover in Serlingampally
3.31 lakh saplings to be planted in Visakhapatnam district
From this year onwards, the GHMC Serilingampally zone is all set to adopt Miyawaki plantation techniques enabling fast growth of plants and developing dense lung spaces
Serilingampally: From this year onwards, the GHMC Serilingampally zone is all set to adopt Miyawaki plantation techniques enabling fast growth of plants and developing dense lung spaces. In about 54 stretches covering 108 km area in Serilingampally around 10,000 saplings will be planted.
"We are planning to try Miyawaki plantation from Nallagandla area. Telangana government is happy to introduce the traditional Japanese "Miyawaki" method of afforestation to grow urban forests and expand the green cover as well as to meet the stipulated plantation target under the Telanganaku Haritha Haaram (TKHH)," said G Hema, UBD Manager, GHMC, Serilingampally.
This method would help us in creating dense green cover in a small area. As we all know, we have less place in urban cities and within the limited place we are trying to add more plants, she added.
This technique pioneered by the Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki would help create dense, native forests in a specified small area. The 10,000 saplings would be planted using Miyawaki technique in Nallagandla on an experimental basis. It would ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster than usual and the resulting plantation is 30 times denser than usual.
Around 1,05,000 plants are available in Nallagandala Nursery and 2 lakh plants are available for distribution. Among one lakh plants, 10,000 saplings are for avenue plantation, 2,500 for median plantation, 18,000 for graveyards and 12,000 are for transfer station institutions.
Colony parks, open spaces, colony roads and proposed parks would be getting 20,000 plants and 25,000 plants are allotted for lake side plantation. Around 15,000 are allotted for plantations at 2BHK in Serilingampally.
The distribution of plants in Serilingampally zone is as follows: Yousufguda 1,495 plants in 10 stretches covering 11.9 km, Serilingampally 4,600 plants in 27 stretches covering 61 km, Chandanagar 3,770 Plants in 15 stretches covering 33.9 km and Patancheru 135 plants in 2 stretches covering 0.8 km.
