Summary:
Since sandalwood trees cannot be cut, NEERI suggested that they must be relocated.In August, advice was sought from the forest department because sandalwood trees cannot be cut or transplanted. There are a total of 126 trees that have to be cut for construction of the theatre at Nashik Road. The theatre work was scheduled to be completed in the next two years, but as of now the work has not even started. If Central Sandalwood Research Centre replies in negative the project will have to be shifted to some other locality in Nashik Road. The sandalwood trees were not visible..
