The above tree plantation work has not only helped in environmental protection but also in controlling unnecessary slum area / encroachment expansion. Due to the tree plantation being done by BHEL, the amount of oxygen in the environment is increasing, as well as the quality of air has also improved. Today we are facing serious problems due to things like air pollution, global warming and climate change caused by human activities.
