Summary:
THANE: In a move to minimise the tree fall cases, the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has started an initiative to replace concrete slabs and tiles around full-grown trees with permeable metal grates around them. If all goes well, then this project will be implemented all across the city,” said city engineer Anil Patil. I met the city engineer and suggested that the metal grate project could be done simultaneously. We have begun installing them around trees in Naupada. This will help water seep through and air to reach the soil and roots easily..
