CM Uddhav Thackeray

Mumbai: The state government signed a tripartite agreement with private companies to plant over 71,000 trees on 65 hectares of forest land. CM Uddhav Thackeray, present at the signing, said more corporate players should get involved through corporate social responsibility funds.
Thackeray directed the forest department to prepare a ‘land bank’, where such plantation drives can be taken up. Two companies in Thane district and one in Raigad district will take up plantation on land that has deteriorated over many years. The land ownership will continue to be with the governmen.
