Summary:

After the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of Sector 49 D, now it’s the railways that have painted trees in Tricolour in and around Chandigarh railway station. Advertising“It is just a beautification drive,” says Station Director Hari Deep Kumar. When asked, Station Director Kumar questioned back, “What is wrong in it…It is very common.” Any kind of destruction to trees is a violation of Chandigarh Tree Preservation Order 1952. However, the station director said that all these trees are on railways land. Environmentalist Rahul Mahajan told Chandigarh Newsline that the pores of the trees have been blocked by painting them..
