JAMMU: In a significant step toward promoting environmental sustainability and enhancing urban green cover, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), in collaboration with the Urban Forest Division Jammu, organized a large-scale tree plantation drive on Friday under the banner of the ongoing Clean Jammu, Green Jammu campaign.

The event took place in the vacant space in front of the RRL Center, located along Canal Road on Akhnoor Road in Jammu. This site was specially chosen for the drive to utilize unused urban spaces for ecological purposes and to create a green buffer along the city's busy roadsides.
The plantation drive was graced by the presence of Vinakshi Koul, Joint Director, Youth Services and Sports, who attended as the chief guest. She actively participated in the plantation activity and planted saplings alongside officers, staff, and volunteers.
