VMC undertakes special avenue plantation drive
Vijayawada: After planting fewer than 10,000 plants under the avenue plantation programme over the last four years in the city, the horticulture wing of the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) has prepared plans to plant about 10,000 saplings in a single season this year under a special avenue plantation drive within the city limits. According to VMC's horticulture records, the municipal corporation planted just 7,000 saplings over four years between 2021 and 2025 under the avenue plantation drive in the city. However, considering the low number of saplings in the past four-year period, the civic body decided to plant at least 10,000 saplings in three months during the monsoon season in the city. Through the plantation drive, the VMC aims to not only enhance green cover and reduce pollution levels but also to increase the area of avenue plantation from the present 27 km to 55 km, thereby doubling the green cover in the city. In this regard, the city corporation embarked on a plantation drive on World Environment Day and planted nearly 2,000 saplings in a single day.
