Translocation of 49 old trees in full swing in Kakinada city

Visakhapatnam-based experts roped in the initiative

The translocation of at least 49 trees, which are three-decade-old, is in full swing, aiming at conserving them instead of axing for construction of new buildings on the campus of the Kakinada Municipal Corporation office in East Godavari district. Launched on May 19 on a pilot basis, the initiative is being done under the aegis of the Kakinada Smart City Corporation Limited (KSCCL). The Kakinada Smart City Corporation Limited authorities have roped in the Visakhapatnam-based nursery, Balaji Nursery, for the translocation of the identified 49 trees.
