Students and teachers from schools and colleges in Kozhikode and Wayanad districts are involved in the greening effort of the 12-km stretch of the Ghat Road. They congregated at the Oriental School of Hotel Management at Lakkidi for the inauguration programmed on Saturday. Indigenous flowering plants, trees and creepers have been planted along the roadside.
