Tale which won the heart of nature and won the battle of Bharat Van

Commemorating the win of Bharat Van, the struggle and the longest protest held in Nagpur should be remembered as a proof that this city is not simply called as the one of the greenest cities in India. The unheard voices should be remembered along the human chains that were meant to save thousands of trees.

Mother Nature would be thanking all the Nagpurians for their brave side and saving her from the lashes of heavy construction. Remembering the battle against Maha Metro here’s a list of how the nature lovers won against the sick minded developers, who pose a threat to all of the oxygen consumers.

November 7 2018: Wildlife warden of Nagpur Jaydeep Das wrote a letter to Bombay High Court informing the chief justice of Bombay HC that a large green patch providing enough oxygen and maintaining a favourable climatic condition in the city is about to be cut. This construction would also involve chopping down of over 500 age old trees.

December 5 2018: High Court stepped in the issue as a suo motu has been filed.

February 28 2019: HC stayed the chopping of trees in its first haring.

June 1 2019: NMC issues a public notice saying that 101 big and medium trees and 457 small trees are likely to be cut down as they are interfering in the construction process.

June 21 2019: Protestors wrote 1500 letters to NMC against their decision of tree cutting.

June 29 2019: Nitin Gadkari, union minister held a discussion over having alternate ways for DP road construction.

October 11 2019: Constructions of an alternate road going through two playgrounds is proposed by NMC.

November 25 2019: protestors and activists stand against the survey by State PWD for the said road construction.
