The Tiruchi Corporation has initiated a beautification project to plant greenery along city road medians to improve urban aesthetics and environmental quality. The project includes maintenance plans to ensure the survival of the new plants, addressing failures of previous attempts.
Why it matters
Urban greening initiatives are essential for mitigating heat and improving air quality in rapidly developing cities.
Tiruchi Corporation has launched a special drive to plant saplings along road medians across the city as part of efforts to increase urban greenery and improve the environment.
The initiative aims at making better use of median spaces on major roads by creating green corridors. The Corporation has planted flowering and ornamental plant species that can withstand the city’s hot, dry climate along a portion of East Boulevard Road and Marakadai.
Work is under way along West Boulevard Road. The median has been cleaned, with old and dried plants removed and the space prepared for fresh saplings. Damaged grills around the median have been removed and will be replaced with new ones.
