"Contractors hired for the tree trimming have to cut trees in a scientific manner. If they found guilty in such incidents, BMC holds them responsible and act as per the situation," said an officer from the Garden Department. Whereas in the same year around 1,500 trees/ branches fell in the dry season claiming two lives. Most of the trees fall due to not getting enough support.
