In Sep 2015, around 30 punnai (Calophyllum inophyllum) saplings were planted around the Mada Streets by Nizhal. Many of these saplings have been spontaneously ‘adopted’ by the vendors. On Sunday, Feb 21, Nizhal has organised a session to rejuvenate the saplings. Those interested can join in. Bring small buckets for watering, any garden implements and gloves to protect your hands. At 7 am, on North Mada Street, near the R. K. Math Road end. For further enquiries email Nizhal.shade@gmail.com or call 9500034187.
