The civic body has started planting trees along drainage canals to increase fruit production in the city and prevent erosion of banks.
The Rs 1.28crore Green Belt Project, a part of the Rs 1,800crore Calcutta Environment Improvement Project funded by Asian Development Bank, is expected to increase the supply of seasonal fruits to the city market by at least 10,000 quintals from 2015.
