The main constraint in making this shade was this banyan tree which was located at the place where one of the columns of the shade had to be erected. So there were only two ways - either to cut the tree or to relocate the tree to a new location.

20-yr-old banyan tree relocated SAIL Chairman Soma Mondal re-planting the banyan tree during her visit to BSP. Staff Reporter DURG : In a unique environmental initiative a 20-year old banyan tree relocated by Sinter Plant 3 collective was re-planted by Soma Mondal Chairman SAIL during her visit to Bhilai Steel Plant. Present were Harinand Rai Director (Technical Projects & Raw Material) SAIL; Anirban Dasgupta Director I/C BSP; Dr SK Issar ED (Med & Health); Rakesh ED (MM); A K Bhatta ED (Projects); S K Dubey ED (P&A); Anjani Kumar ED (Works); SV Nandanwar CGM (SP-3) and senior officials of the Plant. The tree was originally located behind RMP Arising Building in Raw Material Area of SP-3. It was planned to cover the open area behind RMP Arising Building by a roof shade to prevent RMP arisings getting wet during rainy season. The main constraint in making this shade was this banyan tree which was located at the place where one of the columns of the shade had to be erected. So there were only two ways - either to cut the tree or to relocate the tree to a new location. SP-3 collective under the guidance of SV Nandanwar CGM (SP-3) took up this challenging project of shifting this 20 year old tree. The pit was dig and soil was made moist around the tree for 3 days. Omega Crane was used in supporting and lifting the tree. Special care was taken for keeping the roots and surrounding clumps of soil intact during uprooting of tree. The tree was shifted with the help of a trailer and fixed in freshly dug new pit in front of Sinter Bhavan at SP-3. Soma Mondal Chairman SAIL and Harinand Rai Director (Technical Projects & Raw Material) SAIL complimented the team of SP-III for this initiative.
