Sdmc — Urgent pruning of trees - possibility of injury due to top heavy unpruned trees

Address:

Gate BC-2, Near House No. B-532, B Block, New Friends Colony, New Delhi - 110025.

Location: Gate BC-2, Near House No. B-532, B Block, New Friends Colony, New Delhi - 110025.

There are 4 huge top-heavy Ashoka trees that have never been pruned/trimmed located inside B Block, New Friends Colony. As a result, they have become so dangerous that 1 broke in half during rainstorm 2 weeks back while the rest had branches falling since 2020.

They are located on heavily used colony road with pedestrian traffic and there is high chance that the branches may fall and cause injury. This is especially likely since Monsoon season is ongoing and the heavy rains and wind have been causing branches to fall.

There is urgent need for pruning of these trees. There is no response from SDMC on Twitter for almost 10 days and no proper method is available to register request for pruning.
