As a result of two organised campaigns during 1961, the planting work along the Grand Trunk Road was completed. In road-side planting trees should be selected with due regard to rainfall, soil and sub-soil water level. Some useful trees such as nim, imli, ber, mango, etc. have been described with regard to their characteristics. Pure avenues should be preferred to mixed ones. Transplanting of large entire plants is always advisable. The availability of suitable stock depends on the location of nurseries scattered along the length of roads. Irrigation, natural or artificial is essential for all trees. Canal water irrigation is the best for roadside trees. The planting also requires weeding, holing, mulching, pruning and supporting. In order to protect the plantation, provision has been made under the Forest Act which forbids cutting or damaging trees.
