Siruthuli, in partnership with HCLFoundation and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), planted 5,000 native tree saplings in Coimbatore on Monday to mark the 49th HCL Annual Day. This initiative contributes to the national goal of planting 49,000 saplings across India as part of the celebrations.
According to a press release, since 2019, the collaboration has planted over 53,500 saplings, transforming rocky terrain into green spaces that aid groundwater recharge and enhance biodiversity.
