Pemmasani Launches Green Guntur Initiatives
Dr. Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, a Union minister, started two big projects called Green Guntur and Nava Guntur.
These projects aim to make Guntur a greener and cleaner city.
They plan to plant lots of trees, improve roads, and reduce plastic use.
The goal is to have more green spaces and better infrastructure.
The minister also announced a big water project to ensure Guntur has enough water for the next 30 years.
Everyone, including students and local groups, is encouraged to help by planting trees and using less plastic.
The city hopes to become a model for green and clean living in the next few years.
Union Minister Dr. Pemmasani Chandrasekhar launched Green Guntur and Nava Guntur initiatives to transform Guntur into a green, clean, and climate-resilient city.
The initiatives aim to increase green cover to 50% by 2047, with a target of planting 1.20 lakh saplings.
A ₹500-crore drinking water project was announced to meet Guntur’s water requirements for the next 30 years.
The Mission Zero Plastic campaign will be launched on August 15, imposing penalties on single-use plastic and littering.
The city plans to upgrade roads, drainage, water supply, and green spaces over the next five to ten years.
