Indian Railway stations are probably the busiest locations in the country, where thousands of commuters, most of them in a rush are witnessed every day. Everyone seems to be in a hurry to board their train or exit the station and many of the aesthetics of the station remain unseen in the rush. Today, we will draw your attention to a Rs 25 lakh tree planted at New Delhi Railway station.
Every day, approximately 350 trains are in operation from New Delhi station, catering to the needs of thousands of travellers who arrive and depart from this bustling hub. In addition to the prestigious Rajdhani trains, New Delhi station also serves as the departure point for numerous other premium services such as Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat, connecting passengers to various major states across the country.
Indian Railways is going to make this station world-class, along with a total of more than 1,000 stations that are being redeveloped across the country. Work has started on all these stations There is a VIP entry at the New Delhi Railway Station, which is used by VIPs like MPs and Union Ministers. This area has undergone a renovation and greenery has been planted along the path. Right here, in a corner lies a tree that cost Rs 25 lakh to import and plant.
This tree has been imported from Thailand, especially for its moulding ability. The moulding is done when the plant is of small size and hence, as it grows, gradually its branches take a lattice-like shape, which looks attractive from a distance.
This special tree is fed one litre of protein in a month, costing around Rs 2,500. The cost of fertiliser and water together is around Rs 5,000. Next time you go to New Delhi station, you can see this tree by going to the end towards Tilak Bridge on platform number 1.
