CUDDALORE:
Collector P. Seetharaman has launched a drive to plant one lakh saplings across the district within 25 days. He planted a sapling at the Agricultural Science Centre at Vriddhachalam near here recently.
He said all saplings would be planted before August 15. A simple technique has been evolved to water the plants. A bamboo cutting up to a height of two nodules would be planted alongside each plant. Two holes would be made in the bamboo and water filled in the hollow portion. The water would drip through the holes to moisturise the root. Another simple method of watering is to place a small pot in a pit close to the root.
Mr. Seetharaman said the bamboo and pot should be periodically filled with water. To familiarise people with such a mechanism, demonstrations would be organised at select places and the information spread all over the district. In this endeavour, the district administration would involve social service organisations, non-governmental organisations, educational institutions, industries and traders. Mr. Seetharaman hoped that move would ameliorate the adverse effects of global warming, environmental pollution and unpredictable seasonal variations.
