The forest department is running a nursery at Phoolbhagh, which is five km away from Vizianagaram, and the public are not interested to go there to get the saplings.
Hence, the forest employees are maintaining Plant Bank here for the convenience of the people. Divisional forest officer K Venugopal said: “We have been supplying the plants at the bank for the past few days. Guava and gooseberry are the common saplings we can get everywhere. But, we are giving some medicinal plants here to create health awareness among the public.”
