In a proactive move toward sustainable urban development, the monthly meeting of the Sakhali Municipal Council saw the adoption of major green initiatives aimed at transforming open and vacant lands across the city.
Under the guidance of the Ministry of Well Water and Parayar, corporators unanimously agreed to green up unused plots, encouraging eco-friendly land use in both public and private spaces.

As part of the new policy, it was also decided that during the construction of new buildings, 25% of the land area must be preserved for gardening or green space. Additionally, new structures will be required to be painted white, a measure believed to aid in heat reflection and temperature regulation, contributing to energy efficiency.
Officials noted that these measures are being introduced in response to pressing environmental concerns and are intended to promote healthier, greener urban living.
The Municipality plans to roll out awareness drives and monitor compliance with the new norms to ensure effective implementation across the jurisdiction.
