Amran - Saba:

The Cleanliness and Improvement Fund in Amran governorate launched on Tuesday a campaign to plant 2,000 fruit trees along median strips across several streets in Amran city.

During the launch, Governor Dr. Faisal Juma'an and Deputy Governor Hassan al-Ashqas emphasized the importance of utilizing the rainy season to green the city’s medians by planting a variety of fruit-bearing and ornamental trees, in line with the directives of the revolutionary leadership to promote agriculture.

They called for intensified efforts to expand tree planting across medians, roundabouts, and public spaces, and to ensure their regular maintenance throughout the year.

The governor and his deputy praised the efforts of the Cleanliness and Improvement Fund for enhancing the city's appearance through beautification projects, median greening, and continued sanitation services. They also urged local shop owners and the wider community to take part in such initiatives and to help expand fruit tree cultivation in different areas of the city.

Executive Director of the Fund Abbas al-Mutawakil explained that the campaign includes planting 2,000 seedlings of guava, lemon, and pomegranate trees, as well as ornamental plants and hedges. The planting is taking place along the ring road, starting from Souq al-Layl roundabout to the University roundabout.

Al-Mutawakil stressed that greening the medians is part of a broader effort to increase vegetation cover, preserve the environment, and promote a culture of planting productive trees. The initiative also supports national agricultural development programs and contributes to enhancing food security.
