Hindon River Banks to Get Green Buffer
28 Jun
Summary
- Dense plantation drive planned along Hindon river banks.
- Initiative aims to curb pollution and prevent land encroachment.
- Forest department is coordinating with multiple development authorities.
In an effort to combat pollution and encroachment along the Hindon river, the Gautam Budh Nagar forest department will implement a comprehensive dense plantation drive. This initiative, following a representation from the district Ganga committee, seeks to establish a vital green buffer along both riverbanks.
The divisional forest officer has formally requested that the Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway industrial development authorities, along with local sub-divisional magistrates and the Upper Ganga Canal executive engineer, identify appropriate land parcels. This coordinated approach is crucial for the effective planning and execution of the plantation efforts.
Officials highlighted that such plantation activities are essential for stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, and enhancing the overall local ecosystem and biodiversity. While the specific land area, number of saplings, and timeline are yet to be determined, the drive signifies a proactive step towards environmental preservation.
