Kolkata (August 02,2023) : The Kolkata Municipality is facing a challe nge in preserving old trees in the city. Residents have complained that trees are being cut down as soon as they grow too big, and that businesses are encroaching on sidewalks and preventing the planting of new trees. One resident of Baliganj said that a krishnachura tree near her home was dying because its trunk had been pierced by a railing. She said that she had complained to the municipality, but nothing had been done.

 Another resident, from Park Circus, said that several trees along CIT Road had dried up and fallen over. He said that he believed the trees had not been properly watered or maintained. A municipality official said that the main challenge in preserving old trees is that they often block sidewalks and make it difficult for businesses to operate. He said that the municipality is working to find ways to preserve trees while also accommodating the needs of residents and businesses.
