Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the 20-year-old Peepal and Banyan tree behind Vishwakarma Temple in Bhopal’s Bagsewaniya area will not be removed, the road will be diverted.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the Public Works Department had decided to remove these trees for road construction. I saw that the local residents, mothers and sisters were worshipping near these trees and my little nephews and nieces were appealing not to remove the tree.
Seeing the attachment of the residents towards the trees, it has been decided that the trees will not be removed from there. The road will be diverted and constructed, he said.
CM Chouhan also gave instructions to the construction agency in this regard.
Chief Minister Chouhan appealed to the citizens that such campaigns to save trees should go on continuously to save the environment. Also, everyone must plant a sapling on birthdays and other auspicious occasions.
