    Sir, every sunday I run on some stretch of ORR & I was happy to pits prepared for planting saplings. Later, I saw two labourers planting them also. Further, few of them have already been damaged due to rains & lack of proper support. I wish an audit of the work takes place & rectification is put in place.
