Following a preparatory meeting led by Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, instructions were issued to various agencies responsible for procuring and placing a specific number of plants or pots. This coordinated effort involved five departments or agencies working together under the LG’s personal supervision. The forest department and Delhi Parks and Garden Society contributed 375,000 plants (125,000 foliage and 250,000 flowering), the PWD added 50,000 (35,000 foliage and 15,000 flowering), DDA contributed 100,000 (85,000 foliage and 15,000 flowering), NDMC added 100,000, and the MCD placed 50,000 pots.
Around 405,000 potted foliage have already been arranged along the 61 roads, while the remaining potted flowering plants will be displayed in the first week of September to ensure full bloom during the G20 Summit. Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena also visited Palam Air Force Station and tweeted about the preparations for the summit. On his 54th inspection or monitoring visit since July 1, he visited various locations to assess the progress of the beautification project.
