6,000 saplings planted under ‘Green Pokhara, Clean Pokhara’ campaign

Pokhara, Nepal, embraced World Environment Day by planting over six thousand saplings across the metropolitan city as part of the 'Green Pokhara, Clean Pokhara' initiative. This campaign aims to transform Pokhara into a verdant urban landscape.

Mayor Dhanraj Acharya participated in planting various fruit trees at the Pokhara Valley Municipal Development Committee office premises. He stated that the campaign is actively underway, with a significant target of planting 226,000 saplings of 38 different species. These will be planted along 700 km of roads, 67 km of river and stream banks, and in 125 hectares of open spaces across 29 public locations.

The metropolitan city is urging all families to contribute by planting and nurturing trees and plants at their own residences and businesses. Public engagement is crucial, with requests for regular watering and care of plants situated in front of homes and shops. To further enhance the city's aesthetics and environmental cleanliness, flowers are also being planted along Pokhara's main streets. The initiative is informed by suggestions from forestry experts and institutions.
