Cutting of
trees opposed
Bhrashtachar Nirmulan Pariwar has strongly opposed the move of the Forest Department to cut over 500 trees on the Vaccine Institute premises at a time when the government has decided to develop the premises into a heritage park. Cutting of trees at the institute, which was the only rich green patch and home for various flora and fauna, would adversely impact the city’s environment, said Pariwar president Sujit Mulgund, who submitted a memorandum on this to the Deputy Commissioner here on Tuesday.
