India, Sept. 28 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
India's green highway approach is transforming road infrastructure through plantation, climate-resilient design and resource-efficient construction. Over the last five years, more than 3.61 crore saplings have been planted across approximately 1.32 lakh km of National Highways.
