State charts no-concrete zone shield around trees - The Goan Everyday - June 21, 2025. That certainly sounds like some good news ” the government taking steps to save and protect trees by announcing a no-concrete zone shield around trees. This is something I feel is long overdue.
Even in cities like Mumbai, we see roadside trees being choked with cement concrete all around them. It’s time people understood that trees also have life, just like us humans. It’s like choking people with a noose tightening around their neck. Let’s hope corrective action is carried out, even though it has taken a pan-India order from the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to goad the authorities into action.
