Some 160,000 trees of 20-odd species were planted in wooded areas and flower stands set up in streets by district floriculture stations to cultivate various kinds of flowers adding beauty to the city.

And a work goes on to accelerate the growth of turfs already planted in streets, parks and pleasure grounds.

Meanwhile a project was lunched under a detailed plan to spruce up the parks and pleasure grounds, paint apartments and public buildings with coating materials of various colors, repair sidewalks and improve river conditions.
