Efforts have also involved collaboration with NGOs and the forest department.
NCR's commitment to increasing green cover along its railway infrastructure continues. The ongoing activities ensure that identified locations are utilized for plantation as the zone works diligently towards its two-crore sapling goal. This initiative highlights a broader effort to enhance the environmental footprint of railway operations.
