‘VUDA playing vital role in Green Visakha project’
VUDA has been playing a vital role in making the Green
Visakha Project a reality, apart from acting as a guiding agency in its
implementation, said Vice-Chairman N. Yuvaraj on Monday.
So
far 12,000 saplings were planted at various places with successful
survival rate and further action plan has also been taken up to fill
vacant places available at all VUDA layouts and housing schemes, he said
on Monday after a meeting to review the implementation of the project.
He
insisted the participating industries to shoulder the responsibility as
a social obligation. He said successful implementation of the Green
Visakha Project would not only contribute for making Visakhapatnam a
pollution free city but help fetch the city a pride of place at the
global level.
The participating industries were
allocated areas for plantation and targets were to be reached before the
completion of the season, Mr. Yuvaraj told the representatives attended
the meeting. Industries lagging behind should cover plantation of given
number of saplings with no delay as the Parliamentary Committee dealing
with it is very particular about the progress of the project, he said.
