NEW DELHI: Ahead of successfully developing mini forest in congested urban spheres at 17 places, including Karol Bagh and Keshavpuram, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation has put forward a proposal to develop 33 more such sites expanding up to 62 acres in Phase II of the initiated project.

This entire idea of an urban forest has been brought to light to enhance the green shed. These forests will entail saplings of different varieties of trees and walkways on the side for the visitors. Any sort of artificial grassing would be avoided. The idea behind it is to provide a wild look and attract different species, which will, in turn, develop natural flora and fauna, mentioned Ashish Priyadarshi, Horticulture Director. “This initiative has been taken up with a major aim of creating fresh air spots in these congested areas. For executing this, we will be pitching barren spots, unattended by locals, said the official. Furthermore, these areas will have proper boundaries and fencings added the official.
