Chhattisgarh is all set to dedicate ‘Krishna Kunjs’ and commence a mega plantation drive at earmarked places in all urban areas to promote plantation of heritage trees like banyan, peepal, kadamb and neem.
An official communiqué said the plantation drive will simultaneously start on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami falling on August 19.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had announced this in his Bhent Mulaqat programme at Surajpur.
He said that oxygen supplying trees will be planted in the Krishna Kunj.
Following the Chief Minister’s announcement, instructions were given to all District Collectors to immediately allocate at least one acre of land to the Forest Fepartment for tree plantation. To accord uniformity in Krishna Kunj, a logo and design of the gate has been prepared by the office of Principle Chief Conservator of Forest.
