Tenneco clean air, Indian Army and Vaghmi foundation launch 5,000-tree plantation drive in Pune

Pune, Jan 18 (UNI) Rapid urbanization in recent years has led to large-scale tree cutting, disturbing ecological balance and contributing to rising temperatures and declining air quality.

The Vrikshavropan Abhiyan, conducted under the guidance and protocol of the Indian Army- 15 Battalion, Jat Regiment, reflects a collaborative effort to enhance green cover and promote long-term environmental sustainability. As part of the initiative, 5,000 trees will be planted in phases, with the first set of saplings planted during the event and the remaining to be planted within a month.
