Greater Chennai Corporation will begin planting additional trees and developing an eco-park along the Adyar River’s banks from the airport to Nandambakkam, as well as along the Cooum River’s banks at Island Grounds.
The Corporation plans to build a 4-kilometer-long eco-park along the Adyar River from the airport (towards the second runway bridge) to Nandambakkam before the beginning of this year’s northeast monsoon.
Corporation Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi ordered officials to start planting more trees along Adyar river.
“We will start planting saplings of indigenous species. Residents will be permitted to visit the park. It will be a walking space for residents. The work will start in two weeks,” said Deputy Commissioner (Education) D. Sneha.
“We will also plant flowering plants in Island Grounds along the Cooum,” she added.
