To increase the state's green cover, the Punjab government today launched a smartphone application that lets users order free plant saplings, officials said.

The 'i-Hariyali' app under 'Mission Tandarust' can be downloaded from the app store for free, an official spokesperson said.

The users can book a sapling of their choice, a maximum of 25 per person, from a nearby government nursery, the official added.

Once the booking is done, the contact number of the concerned employee of the nursery or the forest guard will be displayed on the mobile phone of the person, the official said.

The app aims to inspire people to plant more saplings to save the environment from pollution, the official added.

 

It will ensure clean, green, healthy and robust Punjab with the active participation of people.
