Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has urged residents to submit their suggestions and objections within seven days, by Feb 20... 'We will transplant 16 trees, which are of indigenous species like pipal and banyan,' said NMC officials.
The 51 trees along the alignment obstruct the proposed widening work and therefore need to be removed,' an official said.As part of the mandatory public consultation process, NMC has affixed notices to each of the trees identified for felling.
Although the demolition drive was originally planned for Thursday, the NMC deferred it by a day after residents requested time and assured officials they would dismantle their unauthorised constructions themselves.
