A unique initiative has been taken at Pakistan at the One Range Kumarganj in Ayodhya after being inspired by Operation Sindoor of the Indian Army. The nursery of vermilion plant (Biksa Orelana) has been installed here for the first time here. 500 plants have been prepared in it. This plant not only has cultural and religious significance, but it is also very useful in the environment and medicinal point of view. DFO Prakhar Gupta said that the success of Operation Sindoor and its symbolic importance inspired him to promote the cultivation of this plant. This plant, also known as Kumkum Tree or Kamila Tree, provides natural red color from its fruits. This color is traditionally used as vermilion or kumkum, which is a symbol of honeymoon and faith in Hindu culture. The DFO further stated that our aim is to boost and respect the morale of the army. For the first time 500 vermilion plants have been prepared in this nursery of Kumarganj. Special care has been taken to grow these plants. This includes the use of proper soil, climate, and organic manure. This plant grows well in hot and moist climate. The loam or sandy soil is suitable for this. He said that our goal is to increase the number of these plants in the coming time. In the next few years, we are planning to prepare thousands of plants in nursery. This will not only benefit the environment but will also become a new source of income for local farmers. The vermilion plant will also be planted in Shaurya forest being built in the cantonment area.
