Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel led a tree plantation drive under the "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" initiative in Ahmedabad's Ghatlodia ward on Sunday, the Chief Minister's office said in a press release.

Trees play a vital role in maintaining environmental balance and purifying the atmosphere. Inspired by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the campaign encourages citizens to plant a tree in the name of their mother. In this spirit, the plantation programme was organised at Ayushman Van by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, the statement said.

On this occasion, Mayor Pratibha Jain, Deputy Mayor Jatin Patel, Standing Committee Chairman Devang Dani, MLA Babubhai Patel, and Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner Banchhanidhi Pani, along with other officials and dignitaries, were present.
