The issue of choking of full-grown trees on newly constructed cement roads has again come to the fore, with a strong wind flowing across the city for a very brief period on Monday afternoon. The full-grown trees on roadsides fell, posing problems for the commuters.
Trees on the Manish Nagar-Chinchbhavan road parallel to the Railway line were choked due to the newly constructed cement road. With a little disturbance in the weather, a tree near Desai Motor Training School, Manish Nagar, was uprooted. Another tree on the Omkar Nagar – Shatabdi Square Road fell, blocking the traffic on the road. Fortunately, none of the commuters were injured.
The Live Nagpur had published a report on the choking of the plants a few months back. Although the road is convenient for those going to Chinchbhavan, Khapri onwards, cement road construction compromising the environmental issues cannot be accepted. Moreover, the choking trees pose a danger to the commuters on the road.
The reports from other areas were not received till the filing of the report.
