Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin
Gadkari in a series of tweets informed that in February and March 2022 we
conducted a transplantation project along the Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi Marg,
Maharashtra located on the Baramati-Indapur section of NH 965G . During this
project, we successfully transplanted 1,025 Banyan trees to the edge of the
Right of Way (ROW). Currently, 870 of the transplanted trees (85%) have survived,
he added.
Gadkari said the transplanted trees are thriving
and displaying healthy growth with the development of robust foliage every day.
He said the project has not only helped in preserving the environment but has
also provided a pleasing visual experience for the visitors traveling along the
road.
