Speaking on the occasion, she asked the officials to plant saplings on either side of the roads in Vikarabad. She suggested them to plant one tree for each three metres in 50 km of town limits and provides tree guards to protect them. She told them to send a team of officials to observe avenue plantation in Gajwel and Siddipet. Even in rural areas also planting should be done along 720 km stretch in two sides of the road, she said.

Speaking about the Tandur town, she told the officials to remove the stones spilled on the roads and plant the saplings. As the saplings of palm tree are very small in the nurseries, she suggested the excise department to choose alternative arrangements. She wished that return to see the green Vikarabad.
