How a Toxic Land in Nagpur Transformed into a Dense Bamboo Forest
When we think of barren, toxic land covered in layers of poisonous ash, it is difficult to imagine it becoming green again. Yet, in Nagpur, Maharashtra, what was once a lifeless wasteland filled with fly ash has been reborn as a thriving bamboo forest. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of scientists from NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute), led by Dr. Lal Singh and his team, along with local women’s groups and students, more than 230 acres of ash-covered land has turned into lush greenery.
