Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said three crore saplings will be planted across the state between August 1 and 15 to increase forest cover.
Addressing a press conference here, Sarma said the state has set a target to plant 10 crore saplings in a span of three-four years, which will help increase the forest cover by two per cent.
This year, our target is to plant three crore saplings from August 1 to 15. Last year, the target was one crore saplings in a single day, but we planted 1.12 crore and 90 per cent of those survived,” he said.
