Due to various kinds of businesses and unfavorable situations of the city, there is less greenery here and hence more pollution in the environment, which is a painful truth of the city.
The aim here is to celebrate PM Narendra Modi's birthday by planting those many trees which makes it equivalent to the total population of the city. This will change the overall look of the city, reducing the carbon footprints and making it a city worth living for future generations.
To start with this campaign, the Dy Mayor has figured out Surat Municipal Corporation's plots, where trees can be planted - along the compound walls, around the huge water tanks, the plots where the sewage treatment plants are there.
