Recent rains create favourable conditions for UP’s plantation drive

“The showers received across the state between July 2 and July 10 have reduced heat in the upper layer of the soil, making it conducive for faster root development, officials said. Light rainfall has also been forecast across Uttar Pradesh over the next seven days, which would further aid the survival and growth of the saplings,” said Aditi Sharma, chief conservator of forests (headquarters).
