Now, the residents, who are interested to plant saplings of their choice, can order the same free of cost through ‘i-hariyali’ mobile app under ‘Tandarust Punjab’ mission to enhance green cover in the state.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kamaldeep Singh Sangha said the unique app, launched by the Forest Department, is available on Google Play Store for Android phones. It enables a resident to choose the plant of his choice, be it timber, ornamental, medicinal, fruits or ornamental shrubs, which would be given to him from government nurseries.

“The facility offers people opportunity to view the nurseries in their vicinity from where they can search saplings as per their requirement,” he stated.

The DC said this app would also show the quantity of such plants/ saplings available in the nurseries. Once someone books a sapling through the app, an SMS will be sent to him and he can collect the sapling from nursery at the fixed time.

Expressing concern over the depleting green cover in the district, he anticipated that the app would tremendously help in enhancing the green cover in the district thereby checking the environmental pollution.

Divisional Forest Officer Rajesh Kumar Gulati said the Forest Department had 14 plant nurseries in the district and they figure in this app. People can also check the availability of saplings.
