Ludhiana's Deputy Commissioner, Himanshu Jain, and State Information Commissioner, Harpreet Sandhu, launched a new project on Friday. They introduced a documentary, photos, and a brochure titled "Journey through panoramic forests of Ludhiana." This event coincides with World Forestry Day 2025. The goal of this project is to highlight the beautiful forests in the district and promote eco-tourism.

The documentary and brochure aim to increase public interest in Ludhiana's natural beauty. They encourage environmental awareness and promote Ludhiana as a potential eco-tourism location.
