The Delhi government has announced an ambitious plan to plant over 7 million saplings in the capital during the 2026-27 period as part of its Green Action Plan (GAP). Environment Minister Majinder Singh Sirsa emphasized that this initiative is designed to combat pollution while simultaneously increasing the city's green cover. The forest department will lead the effort, with various agencies contributing to the planting efforts. Specifically, the forest department will plant 2.7 million saplings, while the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will plant 1 million, and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will plant 500,000 saplings. Other contributors include the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and the Public Works Department (PWD), among others. Additionally, over 1.2 million plants will be distributed for free to encourage public participation in greening the city. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Ek Ped Maa ke Naam' campaign, which promotes environmental sustainability across India.
