Green cover at PU remains in chokehold of concrete

Despite the orders of the municipal corporation against concreting of pavements around trees, there are hundreds of trees at Panjab University (PU) that continue to remain choked by solid structures. PU has claimed that it has increased its green cover around the campus, but concrete around the trees is a common site at the varsity.

Concreting the space around trees leaves no breathing space, putting the life of trees under threat. The guidelines of the ministry of urban development state that a minimum area of 1.25 x 1.25 metre around the trees should be left uncemented.(HT PHOTO)

10% trees at Delhi’s ‘model colony’ have withered

Senior officials said that at present, the New Moti Bagh complex has 7,075 trees, of which 896 are fruit-bearing ones. The problem, however, is that a lot of the varieties that have been planted are not native to the region. That, environment experts say, reduces the trees’ chances of survival.
