"We're sorry. We didn't know you were suffocating under all that concrete. Here, have some air." - Amol Yedge, Municipal Commissioner, Chhatrapati Sambhainagar!
Under the guidance of Amol Yedge, civic chief of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation, and the supervision of Chief Garden Officer Dr Vijay Patil, a special drive is underway to help city trees ‘breathe freely’.
The campaign involves removing nails, posters, wires and ropes from tree trunks. Paver blocks and concrete tightly laid around tree roots are also being cleared, and scientifically designed tree basins are being created to ensure trees receive adequate air and water for healthy growth.
