Plant a tree, get free power, says Hemant Soren
Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren on Friday evening announced that the state government would give five units of free electricity to urban residents for planting one tree on their residential premises.
The step, which the chief minister’s secretariat claimed to be the first such initiative in the country, is aimed at increasing green cover in urban areas.
The announcement was made during the 73rd Van Mahotsav programme at the new auditorium of IIM Ranchi.
