Palm seeds are to be sown along the banks of the Bamani between Moonar head near Needamangalam to Mannargudi by Green Needa. According to M. Rajavelu, chief coordinator, Green Needa, the organisation sowed palm seeds near or along the banks of waterways/water bodies every year during the monsoon. More than 5,000 palm seeds had been collected with the help of students from A.V.V.M. Sri Pushpam College at Poondi in Thanjavur district and Mannai Rajagopalaswamy Government Arts College at Mannargudi recently.
In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
