Punjab govt plans to cut over 450 mango trees; BJP questions the move

AMRITSAR: Punjab government has decided to cut more than 450 mango trees planted across 28 acres out of 101 acres orchard and plant pear trees citing financial reasons.

BJP's former national vice-president Luxmi Kanta Chawla has objected to the decision which will affect city's Attari mixed fruit orchard and bears environmental consequences as well. In a letter written to chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on Sunday, the firebrand leader demanded to know the reason behind his order of chopping off well nurtured and mature mango trees.

"Today, Mango trees are bearing fruits. When will pear trees bear fruit for us to enjoy? Also, environment would be severely affected after cutting old trees," she said. Chawla said the government had already chopped off thousands of traditional trees including neem, peepal etc and was, instead, planting palm trees.
