Haryana will restore 24,990 hectares of degraded Aravali land in the first phase of the ambitious Green Wall project, which aims to develop a continuous line of forests from Porbandar in Gujarat to Rajghat in Delhi, spanning the length of the ancient hill ranges. The state’s restoration plan will be carried out in recorded forest areas (RFA) of five districts—Gurgaon, Faridabad, Nuh, Rewari and Mahendergarh—over three years. Charkhi Dadri, the sixth Haryana district where the Aravalis lie, is not part of this phase because most of the forest is intact there. Haryana’s principal chief conservator of forests (PCCF) Vineet Kumar Garg said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will officially launch the green wall project on June 5, which is observed as the World Environment Day.
