Nagpur Collector Office to Fell 42 Trees: Act Now to Save the City Green Icons
In a shocking revelation brought to light by the city’s beloved RJ Preet, Nagpur faces the grim prospect of losing 42 fully grown, heritage trees at the Collector Office to make way for a new building. These trees, some over a century old, are crucial for the city’s environment and stand as a testament to its rich heritage.
The clock is ticking, and Nagpur's precious green cover is under siege. The NMC has issued a Public Notice Advertisement (No. 778/PR dated 13.12.2024), calling for objections. But will the voices of concerned citizens be enough to stop this environmental massacre?
A Green Catastrophe in the Making
These trees are more than just greenery—they are the lungs of our city, combating pollution, cooling the environment, and providing sanctuary to countless birds and animals. Cutting them down will not only destroy Nagpur’s ecological balance but will also strip the city of its natural heritage.
Adding insult to injury, the proposed site is the Collector Office—a government institution that should lead by example in protecting the environment, not spearhead its destruction. What kind of message does this send to the citizens of Nagpur?
Heritage at Stake
Many of these trees qualify as heritage trees, standing tall as silent witnesses to the city’s history. Their destruction is an assault on Nagpur’s soul—a sacrifice that no new building can justify.
