Association of Madhya Pradesh (AIMP). president Pramod Dafaria informed here on Saturday that dense forests would be developed in sectors A, D, E and C to add greenery in the industrial area and would also contribute to reducing air pollution and thus help in protecting the environment.

Sapling plantation will follow soon, taking the help of IMC and two social organisations working in this field. Dafaria informed that problem of encroachment on the DIC land where the forest is to be developed has been resolved with help of IMC officials.
The Association also plans to install street lights in all the sectors of Sanwer Road industrial area and around 150 poles would be put up in Sector A following a proper survey with IMC's help in the first phase. In all, 1000 electric poles would be installed in all the sectors at the cost of Rs 1.5 cr. The maintenance would be done from the fees collected from the industrialists.
