In a major green push, authorities aim to plant 11 lakh saplings in Pithampur this monsoon, MPIDC executive director Himanshu Prajapati said during his visit on Friday.
Prajapati toured the industrial area to inspect proposed plantation sites and ongoing civil, electrical, and infrastructure maintenance works. He identified suitable locations for tree plantation during the rainy season.
To coordinate the initiative, a meeting of industrialists will be held on Monday, June 16 at 5 PM in the SEZ Export Bhavan auditorium under the chairmanship of the District Collector of Dhar.
Prajapati also inspected the water treatment plant and instructed officials to prioritise cleanliness and regular maintenance. He visited Sector-7 to examine the site for a planned water storage tank.
He directed officers to resolve waterlogging and drainage blockages before the rains, and reviewed the shifting and construction of electric lines in the area.
During the tour, he visited Volvo Eicher’s engine division, where company representative Adarsh Srivastava committed to planting 15,000 saplings this season.
