Plant 25 trees in all projects, Shah urges realty developers in Ahmedabad

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Tuesday urged real-estate developers in Ahmedabad to run a year-long campaign where at least 25 tree saplings can be planted in every real-estate project constructed by them in the past.

After inaugurating a garden developed by CREDAI-Ahmedabad, a body of real-estate developers, Shah said the move would help turn Ahmedabad into a “green” city.

“ Among the tree saplings planted last year, 5.42 lakh saplings survived in the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency,” said Shah, who planted a “rudraksha” in the garden. “If every CREDAI member takes an initiative to plant 25 new trees in every project initiated by them, then it will help make Ahmedabad become green,” Shah said.
