Trimmed trees not only give height clearance but also add to city aesthetics, Jamwal said adding that dead or hazardous trees on city rights of way must also be removed and JMC must dedicate a telephone line for the purpose so that people could draw its attention towards overgrown, damaged, leaning or uprooted trees that damage property worth cores of rupees every year.
The PDP Zone President said that this year also excessive damages have been done and keeping in view this loss, JMC must at and after involving forest department start pruning immediately to avoid any further loss to the lives and propriety. |
