Coimbatore: In its journey towards making "Kovai Clean and Green" Siruthuli added one more feather to its cap with the inauguration of the plantation of 30,000 trees in the Southern Railway land, Ondipudur.
This adds more value to Coimbatore due to its location in the heart of the city acting as the lungs of the ever growing city. The plantation of 30,000 trees started in the right earnest today morning at the designated hour with the first sapling being planted by Subba Rao, IRSME, Division Regional Manager, Salem Division and A.Annadurai, IRSS, Additional Divisional Railway Manager, Salem Division.
The organisations behind the green initiative are Hope of Home, Rotary Smart City and Spark Round Table 323" who have been the source of strength with their sponsorship and a strong backing in conservation of the environment by creating this micro forest in the middle of a concrete jungle.
Vanitha Mohan, Managing trustee of Siruthuli and apex members of Siruthuli also were in attendance and eagerly participated in the plantation, duly adhering to all Covid Safety protocols.
The plantation is done as per the Miyawaki method with native trees endemic to the Western Ghats that will soon become a micro forest in the heart of the city and become home to many birds and smaller reptiles generating the much needed oxygen for the citizens of Coimbatore. The hallmark of the plantation is that, the sewage flowing in the stream would be treated using natural remediation methods through constructed wetland where the waste water quality will be improved using plants and other biological means keeping in view of the Siruthuli ideology of conserving water by reducing-reuse-recycle.
