Hyderabad should not become a concrete jungle like some other Indian cities and citizens should benefit from a massive plantation campaign, Rao said, adding that lung space should be created as much as possible in HMDA areas. Rao also told the HMDA commissioner to form walkers’ clubs and hand them over to walkers for maintenance. He emphasised the need to rejuvenate erstwhile forest areas near the city, the release said.
