BENGALURU: Green may have little to do with khaki, but Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) body of workers are out to wreck the stereotype related to policemen. Between wielding lathis and controlling crowds, they are rearing more than 500 saplings which they planted on a 30feet x40feet plot and are growing a self-sufficient miniforest at their Kudlu battalion in Bengaluru.
Wielding sickles and shovels, the KSRP body of workers have taken afforestation to another stage, ensuring the forest develops its personal manure and also yields sufficient natural fruits for consumption right through lunch and tea breaks.
Bhaskar Rao, further director common of police, KSRP, who used to be impressed by the fresh air and greenery on the Kempegowda International Airport campus, determined to implement the method of growing a micro-forest in his pressure’s battalions.
Of the four main KSRP battalions in Bengaluru, the 9th one at Kudlu had sufficient land to grow a microforest. Kuldeep Jain, commandant of the 9th battalion, ensured all his officers were given their fingers muddy. They planted 500 saplings, together with chikoo, neem and jackfruit, in a week.
KSRP battalions in different districts are actually following in the footsteps in their Kudlu colleagues. J Ramesh, nodal officer appointed by Jain, is promoting the unconventional concept in Munirabad, Kalaburagi, Belagavi, Shiggaon and Shivamogga.
