Bengaluru, June 3: Love plants? Love the Bengaluru International Airport, better known as Kempe Gowda International Airport? Love the Garden City?

To mark the World Environment Day on June 5, BIAL has taken up a novel and literally green initiative of presenting a plant to passengers and visitors as part of the drive to spread greenery and create a positive impact on the environment.

Around 10,000 plants will be distributed to passengers and visitors (one per individual) in phases. This initiative will commence from June 5 to mark World Environment Day.

All passengers and visitors to the Airport can sign-up by registering on https://bengaluruairport.co/Adopt-A-Plant/ or refer to BIAL’s social media platforms @BLRAirport or provide details onsite to collect their plant at The Quad by BLR.

A variety of different plants will be available including Rhoeo (Oyster plant), Tradescantia Pallida Purpurea (Purple heart), Tradescantia Zebrina (Inch plant), Zephyranthes Candida (White lilly) and Zephyranthes Rosea (Pink Lilly).  

With BIAL already in the midst of massive Rs 13,000 crore infrastructure development, its landscape, too, is undergoing remarkable transformation to align with the concept of Terminal 2 – designed to be a Terminal as a Garden that will reflect Bengaluru’s much-cherished green identity.

Several trees and shrubs that are in the path of the expansion will be safely translocated to other locations while other plants that cannot be reused will be given away to public free of cost.
