‘Haritha Haram’ restoring forests amazingly: KCR

Hyderabad Telangana government’s ambitious programme ‘Haritha Haram’ is yielding amazing results in restoring forests and increasing the green cover with the support of all sections of people, said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. He commended the state Forest Department for its efforts in this direction. “Let’s all work together till we achieve the target of 33 per cent green cover in the Telangana state,” he said in his message on the occasion of Forest Martyrs’ Day on September 11.

He believes that visualising a society without forests, environment and green cover is unreasonable. Considering the importance of preservation of the environment, the Telangana government formulated action plans soon after the formation of the state. “Today, we are witnessing the results of the government’s commitment and perseverance in just a decade time,” he said

CM KCR noted that the city of Hyderabad clinched “World Green City Award - 2022”, presented by International Association of Horticulture, for improving green cover in the city.
