Mayor Orders Notice to Contractor Over Unauthorized Tree Cutting in Nagpur Nagpur: Mayor Neeta Thakre has directed the civic administration to issue a formal notice to a contractor accused of unauthorized tree cutting in Surya Nagar, a locality under Prabhag 24. The directive followed a complaint lodged by the Surya Nagar Welfare Society, which alleged that the contractor was engaged in extensive tree felling under the guise of trimming. The society claimed the activity was being carried out without proper authorization, prompting the mayor to take immediate action. Thakre visited the site to assess the situation firsthand. During the inspection, she instructed officials to serve a show-cause notice to the contractor, demanding an explanation for the unauthorized tree cutting. The mayor emphasized the need for accountability, stating that such actions violate municipal regulations and environmental norms. She also ordered the garden department to coordinate with the Kalamna police station to gather details about the vehicle used to transport the cut wood. This step aims to trace the origin of the activity and identify any potential violations. In addition to the legal measures, Thakre mandated that the contractor undertake compensatory plantation work. The order specifies that saplings must be planted in proportion to the age and size of the trees that were cut. This requirement is intended to mitigate the environmental impact of the unauthorized felling and restore the green cover in the area. The mayor’s directive underscores the civic administration’s commitment to enforcing tree protection laws and maintaining ecological balance.#mayor_neeta_thakre #kalamna_police_station #surya_nagar_welfare_society #prabhag_24 #garden_department
