HI All,
I am not sure as to which category i need to post this. i need immidieate help with regards to the trees in my locality. we are located in north of mumbai, our area is going for a road widening project. the municipal authorities never gave us any idea about when the Rl was passed. they say it was passed in 1998 till now they did not do anything about it. so many housing societies came up after 1998 and the municipal authorities never stopped them then. mow all of a sudden a notice of seven days was served to all the societies asking them to demolish the compound wall so the road widening would commemce.
the societies go tto gether replied to the notice and had meetings with the Deputy commisioner, there hearing is still pending. and now the MCGM came up with a one day notice that they would be demolishing the walls. as they said they have demolished the compound walls of all societies except one as that society managed to get some political influence. no compensation is paid to any societies, till date.
now the MCGM is going to chop off the trees. they say they will not be chopping of all the trees. but i fear that they eye the teak trees which are in the society. these teak trees have good commercial value. if any one there can please help me know
how to protect these trees.
what precautions should i take to protect them.
how would i be able to know the laws that will help me
regards
thanks
pinto
