Pune Municipal Corporation plans to fell 225 trees on college campus; greens fume

The proposal by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to fell 225 trees and transplant 99 for the construction of a new administrative building has faced strong opposition from citizens. Activists have objected to the plan, stating that some of the trees are not obstructing the construction. They have also demanded a detailed project report and the success rate of tree transplantation. Citizens have urged PMC to follow the example of the Nashik civic body, which was ordered to plant saplings before felling trees. PMC has promised to provide a written response to the objections raised.
