Court orders survey of existing trees in the city
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court has directed the Kochi Corporation to conduct a survey on the existing trees in the corporation areas and take steps to promote tree planting as per Section 4 of the Kerala Promotion of Tree Growth in Non-Forest Areas Act, 2005
The court ordered that the exercise be completed in four months. The order was issued on a writ petition filed by Jai George of Ayyappankavu. He had sought a directive to take effective action against those who felled two healthy trees that stood on government land opposite to a mall on M.G. Road. He said a mango tree and a fig tree were cut down on June 18, 2018.
He pointed out that as per a Government Order issued in 1986, no tree standing on public land should be felled without the permission of the Assistant Conservator of Forests (Social Forestry) concerned.
