Tree transplantation raises concern in Vizag

Visakhapatnam: The road widening project here, triggered by the relocation of the Chief Minister's office and the resultant surge in traffic, has come under public scrutiny and protests A worry is that this would undercut the tree- transplantation efforts. Despite careful relocation, these trees have dried up in their new location, prompting questions about the overall success of the tree transplantation initiatives. In response to the concerns, the deputy director of horticulture at Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, stated, "The translocated trees are like children. The deputy director also acknowledged that the standard procedure for transplantation involves cutting down stems and then translocating, whereas, in this case, trees were translocated directly. He said there was a 40-50 per cent chance of survival, but “the GVMC is making efforts to save the translocated trees.” The established Jewish time for the plants' adjustment is 90 days, and the authorities are actively monitoring and managing the trees during this critical period to maximise their chances of survival.
