NEW DELHI, July 4: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the Delhi government's mega drive to plant 70 lakh trees across the national capital on July 7.
She encouraged residents to participate in the campaign by enrolling through the Green Drive Portal.
In a statement, Gupta said residents can use the portal to book plantation slots, collect free saplings from government nurseries, invite the 'Vriksh Rath' (tree chariot) that will assist them in community plantation drives and register themselves as "Delhi Green Warriors".
"We had promised to plant 70 lakh trees in Delhi. Now it is time to fulfil it, together. The Green Drive Portal is now live. You can select a location and time, book your plantation slot, or visit any nearby government nursery to collect saplings," she said.
The chief minister said residents planning plantation drives in housing societies or institutional areas can invite the Vriksh Rath through the portal, and it will assist them.
She said those registering as Delhi Green Warriors may be invited by the government to participate in future plantation drives. |
