In a remarkable effort to rejuvenate Delhi's Yamuna floodplain, CISF personnel have embarked on an ambitious forest reclamation project. By planting thousands of trees and vetiver grass near Sarai Kale Khan, they aim to combat land degradation and curb soil erosion along the riverbank. This initiative, inspired by a successful ecological effort in dhanbad's mining regions, is part of a larger strategy for restoring and preserving the Yamuna floodplain.
