Hundred and ninety trees beautiful trees and a lovely landscaped garded will be done away with for making
roads..
We know some would be thinking... the PCB
will plant more, the transplantation will happen so why the fuss and so on but
to us in one sense we should rather salvage what we have with all possible
means. Pune 's air and environment is getting deadlier by the day, and one
uniqueness of Pune remains the old trees...

* Vata Savitri, offers us a great chance to send the message to
heartless authorities who do not think twice before felling such precious
trees.
* This puja will also draw attention of the
citizens towards indiscriminate tree felling on that road. It will be an attempt
to save these beautiful huge banyan (Wad) trees on that road and around Pune
city
