Corporation appeals for help in raising Green Park
The Tiruchirapalli City Corporation has invited
environmental activists and city residents interested in conserving the
environment to sponsor tree saplings at the Green Park being raised at
Panchapur on the outskirts of the city.
The
corporation is raising the park on a five-acre area and plans to plant a
variety of saplings, including herbs. The park would house a meditation
hall, a small zoological park, a toy train, and models of the seven
wonders of the World.
Environmental activists and
people interested in conservation could sponsor a sapling by paying Rs.
3,000. So far, about 198 persons have contributed the sum and joined the
initiative. Akshaya, a class 6 girl, handed a cheque for Rs. 3,000 to
Corporation Commissioner V.P. Thandapani on Wednesday for a sapling to
be planted on her behalf at the park, according to an official release.
Those interested in participating in the initiative can call 7639566000, the release added.
