Karimnagar Police training centre becomes Haritha Vanam: Gangula
Minister appreciated the cops for taking an active role in the protection of the environment besides maintaining law and order
Karimnagar: BC Welfare and Civil Supplies Minister Gangula Kamalakar on Monday appreciated Karimnagar commissionerate police for developing Karimnagar City Police Training Centre into a Haritha Vanam and tourism spot.
“The Police training centre, which used to look like a concrete jungle, has become a beautiful destination attracting tourists as well as migratory birds since different types of rare trees are being grown here. This happened with the initiative of Police Commissioner VB Kamalasan Reddy and the hard work of other police personnel,” the Minister said.
Kamalakar along with Karimnagar Mayor Y Sunil Rao, CP, Karimnagar Municipal Corporation Commissioner Valluru Kranthi inaugurated a rock garden developed on a small hillock in the police training center on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, Kamalakar appreciated police for taking an active role in the protection of the environment besides maintaining law and order.
Besides different types of vanams, new projects have also been taken up in the center. In the wake of shrinking forest cover, it has become difficult for the people to watch forests in nearby areas. So, people, who wanted to see forest, need not go anywhere else and they could see forest in the police training center.
The center could also help to study the method to protect forest, he said. Minister toured the training center for about 3 kilometer distance to watch Miyawaki phase-I, II and other vanams.
Kamalasan Reddy informed that about 60,000 trees have been grown in the center. Saplings planted during the Haritha Haram programme have developed as big trees. They are planning to plant another 5,000 to 6,000 trees in the coming rainy season.
Besides the police training center, all police stations, circles, division officers would be covered with greenery by planting trees in a big way, CP said and thanked officials of various departments for providing different types of saplings as well as techniques to grow trees.
Forest conservators MJ Akbar and Saidulu, Additional DCPs S Srinivas (Law and Order), and G Chandramohan (Adminitation) and others participated in the programme.
