Coimbatore Corporation has drawn an ambitious plan to improve the city’s green cover by going in for Miyawaki gardens across the city. Corporation Commissioner Raja Gopal Sunkara told The Hindu that the civic body has planned Miyawaki gardens at 100 places – all reserved sites – in the five zones. The Corporation had invited non-government organisations, corporate companies and industries based out of Coimbatore, industry associations and residents’ welfare associations to join hands with it to raise the Miyawaki gardens. The Corporation was ready to sign an MoU with the associations or organisations or companies coming forward to raise the gardens and had prepared a draft agreement. The civic body would play the role of a facilitator.More Related News
