The Daily Guardian
|October 08, 2025
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, along with Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa and other key officials, held a meeting in this regard.
The Delhi government is set to transform 15 scattered patches of vacant land across the national capital into dense urban forests, called ‘Namo Vans,’ to enhance the city’s green cover and combat air pollution.
Officials said that these Namo Vans will cover an area of over 177 acres. And after their development, along with two Miyawaki forests, there will be 17 urban forests in the national capital. The work is likely to commence soon, with the plantation planned from November.
“These new forests will not only enhance the beauty of the national capital but also create much-needed green spaces for our residents,” Sirsa told PTI.
