​Suryapet: District Collector Surendra Mohan informed that the aim of conducting Green Day on every Friday was to save the saplings planted under Haritha Haram programme.
On Friday, he launched the programme by watering a sapling planted along National Highway 65, near Pillalamarri of Suryapet.

As part of the programme every Friday from 9 am to 10.30 am, officials, local public representatives and people collectively work together and remove weeds and water the saplings planted under Haritha Haram programme.
