The forest department of Haryana is set to develop two Miyawaki parks in Sohna, utilizing a Japanese afforestation technique known for its ability to create dense, fast-growing native forests in limited spaces. One park will be established within the reserve office premises in Raiyapur, while the second will cover approximately seven acres in Ward 12. Preparatory work has already begun, with construction expected to start soon. This initiative aims to combat pollution, enhance biodiversity, and regulate the microclimate in urban areas. Sanjay, the range officer for the municipal council of Sohna, confirmed that preparations are underway and a detailed plan has been prepared for the parks. The park at the reserve office will also serve as a training and demonstration center for forest personnel from various districts, promoting the Miyawaki technique throughout Haryana. The second park, located near residential areas, is anticipated to reduce dust pollution and improve air quality, while providing recreational green space for local residents. Haryana's forest and wildlife minister, Rao Narbir Singh, emphasized that this initiative is part of the government's strategy to strengthen ecological infrastructure in rapidly urbanizing areas, aiming to enhance the quality of life for citizens.
