Indore: The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), has decided to build 400 Ahilya Vans in at least five locations within each of the 85 wards in order to preserve the environment and improve the air quality in the Swachh City.
Pratibha Pa, IMC Commissioner, said that 12 locations were selected in Ward 7/8 to develop Ahilya Vans. In addition, at least five locations would be created in each of the city’s 85 wards as city forests in the days ahead. The commissioner stated that Ahilya Vans will be home to plants such as Mahogany, Tabubia and Siras, Sitvans, Sitvans, Champa, Champa, and Chitwan, which will attract rain.
Ahilya Vans, which are to be built on one hectare or more of land, would have a small water-pond for birds. The smaller city forest would also have an eco-friendly shelter for citizens. All Ahilya Vans would have a track for walking and a rainwater harvesting to increase groundwater.
The commissioner directed horticulture department officers to surround Ahilya Vans by boundary walls and create an ecosystem by planting saplings from forestry species. The manure from the dead leaves and other tree waste would be used to create compost pits.
