Good to see local leaders like VC Chahal taking part on the ground. The real test is the survival rate of these saplings. Hope the 'Green Calendar' and coordination between departments ensures they are watered and protected, not just planted for a photo-op.

Laxmibai Nagar resident here! Was present at Tikona Park. The atmosphere was positive and many families came. My kids planted a peepal sapling for their grandmother. If every colony does this, Delhi's air quality can actually improve. Full support!

As an expat living in Delhi, I appreciate these community-driven green efforts. The connection to honoring one's mother is a powerful motivator that transcends cultures. Looking forward to seeing more green spaces develop. Well done.

While the sentiment is excellent, we must ensure native species are planted that can survive Delhi's extreme weather. Gulmohar and Amaltas are beautiful, but we need more hardy, pollution-tolerant varieties like Neem and Bargad for long-term success.

Connecting environmental work with our cultural values like respect for mothers and nature (Prakriti) is a smart approach. It's not just a plantation drive, it's building a *sanskar*. Hope this spirit reaches every mohalla and village. Jai Hind!
