The Sindoor tree, known for the red pigment derived from its flowers, holds deep cultural value. “The Sindoor tree symbolises the courage, dignity and inner strength of Indian women,” Gupta wrote. She added that the plant would serve as a living reminder of “Operation Sindoor” and its associated valor.

India Is Entering A New Era Of Environmental Consciousness 

“India is entering a new era of environmental consciousness,” she added, calling PM Modi’s campaign a reflection of the country’s evolving identity as a sensitive and sustainably developing nation.

Gupta also stressed Delhi’s ambitious green goals. “Our resolution is to make Delhi not just a capital city, but a symbol of greenery, cleanliness, and compassion,” she said. To achieve this vision, a target of planting 70 lakh saplings has been set for this year.

Cabinet colleague Ashish Sood was also present at the tree plantation event, lending support to the environmental initiative.

This campaign, deeply rooted in both environmental responsibility and emotional connection, marks yet another innovative step in blending climate action with cultural heritage.
