The green court has instructed the Border Roads Organisation to plant 10,000 trees in Uttarakhand.
The green court has given the following directions to the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in Uttarakhand:
  • Plantation of 10,000 trees: The court has instructed the BRO to undertake the task of planting 10,000 trees in Uttarakhand. This initiative aims to promote afforestation and contribute to environmental conservation in the state.
  • Identify suitable locations: The BRO has been directed to identify appropriate locations for planting the trees. This involves assessing areas that are conducive for tree growth and where they can have the most positive impact on the local ecosystem.

  • Reporting progress: The court has directed the BRO to submit regular reports on the progress of tree plantation activities. This aims to ensure transparency and evaluate the effectiveness of the initiative in meeting its objectives.
  • Compliance with environmental regulations: The green court has emphasized that all tree plantation activities should be carried out in compliance with relevant environmental regulations and guidelines. This includes obtaining necessary permissions and adhering to best practices for afforestation.
By following these directions, the Border Roads Organisation can contribute to the restoration and conservation of Uttarakhand's natural environment through extensive tree plantation activities.
