Our sanitary workers, while involved in morning cleaning activities, will ensure that the plants are watered properly,” a senior corporation official said.When the flowering plants grow, they will serve an additional purpose -- they will block the high beams from the headlights of vehicles which could pose danger to drivers coming from the opposite direction.The drive would cover mostly the four lane roads in the city.Residents said protecting the plants from wandering cattle would be big a task for the corporation.
