RAJSHAHI, April 20, 2026 (BSS) - As a new initiative by Rajshahi City 
Corporation (RCC) to enhance greening and beautification of the metropolis, 
tree planting activities have begun using tubs and drums on road dividers of 
various important roads in the city. 

Trees have been planted in tubs and drums along the median from Dorikhorbona
Mor to Nazmul Haque School Mor roundabout.

This afternoon, RCC Administrator Mahfuzur Rahman Riton inspected this 
greening and beautification initiative.
 
Under this program, suitable and aesthetically pleasing trees of various 
species are being installed in a planned manner on road dividers using tubs 
and drums. 

This will enhance the city's beauty on one hand, and contribute to 
maintaining environmental balance on the other. 

This initiative of planting trees in tubs and drums is especially for roads 
where planting directly in the ground is not possible. This allows for easy 
maintenance of the trees and relocation as needed.
 
Regarding this, Administrator Mahfuzur Rahman Riton said the greening and 
beautification program will be expanded gradually to more roads and important areas of the city. 

With the cooperation of citizens, if this initiative is successfully 
implemented, Rajshahi will become a greener, cleaner, and more aesthetic 
city.
 
During the inspection, RCC Superintending Engineer Ahmad Al Main Parag, 
Revenue Officer Sarwar Hossain Khokon, Urban Planner Boni Ahsan, Environment Section Officer-in-Charge Farhad Hossain Adnan, and other concerned officials were present.
