Scion of the erstwhile royal family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar called for reviving greenery through action at micro levels across the communities.
He was speaking at a programme to mark the release of tree census conducted on a pilot basis in Ward Number 48 by Projet Vruksha Foundation, here on Sunday.
Mr. Yaduveer recalled how the maharajas of Mysuru had planned the city and ensured tree plantation on both the sides of the road to provide shade besides shore up green cover. Similarly the drive from Bengaluru to Mysuru was known for trees on both the sides of the road all of which have disappeared due to urbanisation and road widening projects. Yet, it was necessary to revive greenery and tree cover as part of environmental service.
