War room to monitor 70L saplings
A special "green war room" will keep tabs on progress and make sure the trees actually survive, with a focus on native species that fit Delhi's climate.
For the season, the target is 70 lakh saplings, with around 50 lakh to be planted by agencies and 20 lakh distributed free to residents so everyone can pitch in.
