The Government has unutilised land along the roads which is yet to be developed. Why can trees not be grown in those areas? Whereas some of the road reserves might take long before they are developed, I think it will be prudent and in order if they can be utilised by growing along them for the time being. When you go to other countries, people have been encouraged to grow not only trees but also, fruit trees along the roadsides.
