Planting Saplings to Protect Sand Dunes at the Kappaladiyan Muniswarar Swami Temple, Rameswaram

Saplings were planted as part of our Arulagam Sand Dunes Protection Project at the Kappaladiyan Muniswarar Swami Temple, which belongs to the Ramanathaswamy Temple.

To make the location suitable for planting the saplings, the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department removed the Prosopis Juliflora (Seemai Karuvelam) trees that had grown there.

The event was inaugurated by the Joint Commissioner of the Ramanathaswamy Temple, Thiru K. Sellathurai, who planted the first sapling.

Further, Dr. Ayyasamy Daniel and HRCE Department staff Thiru Muruganandam also planted saplings, adding significance to the event.

It has been resolved to fully plant around 3000 saplings and 2000 palm seeds in this location in the coming days. Furthermore, arrangements have been made to plant one thousand mangrove trees in the coastal area.

 

The nursery staff of Arulagam executed the sapling planting work efficiently. Right after the planting was completed, a good rain fell at the perfect time, showing nature's cooperation. It is planned to fully plant the remaining areas in the coming days.
