Road widening works saw a large number of trees pulled down on either side of Mettupalayam Road. But, the green cover on the road may be back, if the efforts of the Mettupalayam Road Protection Association pay off.
The association has identified 28 varieties of trees. For 6.5 km from Sanganur Pallam to NGGO Colony, trees will be planted on either side of the road and shrubs will be planted on the median space. The association plans to start the green drive in March this year. It plans to approach the industries on the Mettupalayam Road for support to maintain the trees.
