Ranchi: An Indian Forest Service official has launched a ‘My Ranchi-My Responsibility’ campaign, which aims at planting saplings across the state capital with the help of NGOs and the common people.
Siddharth Tripathi, who has worked in the state bureaucracy for several years now, was perturbed by a survey which revealed that 53 wards under the Ranchi Municipal Corporation’s limits have lost around 95% greenery in the last 15 years, which prompted him to take up the initiative.
Tripathi said, “When I saw the satellite map of Ranchi a year ago I was shocked to see the depletion of greeneries. As the Forest Survey of India does not conduct a survey for municipal limits, I, along with a few experts, decided to do one on my own to calculate the loss. We took the help of Geographic Information System and analysed the data between 2004 and the ongoing year and we were shocked to find that in most of the wards the greenery has shrunk between 50% and 95%.”
