Residents in Siolim are vehemently opposed to the tree cutting for road widening, sparking a candlelight protest. They argue that road expansion harms the environment and call for an immediate cessation of these activities.
The High Court has responded to their concerns by issuing a stay order, supporting the community’s efforts to protect the trees. Locals advocate for alternative road improvement methods that do not involve tree cutting, such as eco-friendly approaches or exploring alternative routes. Collaborating with authorities and environmental experts, they aim to find solutions that address the need for road improvement while preserving the natural surroundings..
