Ladyhill-Durgamahal concretisation: trees axed despite protests
By CT reporter
MANGALORE : It has been found that the authorities have initiated steps towards felling trees on the raodsides on the Ladyhill-Duragmahal Road which is being widened and concretised, though these trees are in no way obstructing the road works. What has been gathered of late is that the city corporation has embarked upon such a step at the behest of one of its free advisors.
As a first phase of the Ladyhill-Carstreet concretisation works, the Ladyhill-Durgamahal road project has been taken up and despite the appeal made by locals and other social organisations against felling the roadside trees, so far three trees have been felled, while all the branches of two others have been cut off, with all the five being banyan trees. Apart from these five, the authorities after uprooting a peepal tree had planted it in a nearby place in order to avert hurting the religious sentiments of the people.
But now, it has been gathered that plans are afoot to axe all ther roadside trees in the area, courtesy the advice of MCC’s free advisor much to the resentment of the locals who say these trees do not at all come in the way of the project implementation.
It is strongly believed that the notorious builder Dharmaraj was behind the suggestion and presently reports are also indicative of the fact that some changes are brought about in the project mainly to suit the interests of two industrialists who are owning buildings in the area.
