As many as 21 spots of Janjgir-Champa district will be developed as Oxy-Zones.
The purpose behind preparing the action plan is to maintain the ecological balance with the help of industrial units set up in this district.
Notably, The Chhattisgarh State Forest Developement Corporation is targetting to plant around 3.20 lakh plant varieties on 266 hectares area, stated officials.
Notably, Janjgir-Champa has the lowest forest cover. Necessary directions regarding the plan were recently passed by Forest Department Principal Secretary RP Mandal.
Plants like sesame, neem and berry are to be planted here. Officials are further mulling to develop a park to provide income avenues for the villagers.
Forest Development Corporation Divisional Manager Raju Agasmani said the sites were selected through Global Positioning System (GPS) survey.
The plantation is likely to be done by the months of June-July, Agasmani said.
