Total land area of over 53 acres has been identified at different places in and around Delhi-NCR to establish the Miyawaki plantations, it added.

According to the statement, some of the sites proposed for development of Miyawaki plantations along the National Highways include 4.7 acres of land area along Haryana section of Dwarka Expressway, 4.1 acres near Sohna on Delhi - Vadodara section of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, around 5 acres each at Chabri and Kharkhara interchanges on NH 152D of Ambala - Kotputli corridor in Haryana, over 12 acres at Shamli bypass on NH-709B.

The statement said using the Miyawaki method will not only increase green cover and enhance the overall health and well-being of citizens living along the National Highways, but will also add to the aesthetics and pleasure of commuting on the National Highways in NCR.
