New Delhi : Delhi Cabinet Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh visited the Arogya Van and Miyawaki Forest at Ekta Nagar near the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, highlighting the importance of integrating environmental conservation, health and traditional Indian practices.

The initiative, he said, is aimed at helping transform the national capital into a better example of clean air, increased greenery and healthy living.
