COIMBATORE CORPORATION IS BEST IN TREE CUTTING AND DEFORESTATION- Will Authorities take necessary action against the Government Officials.

The issue of unauthorized tree cutting in Coimbatore is alarming, especially when it involves trees that are over 50 years old. The fact that a 60-year-old tree was cut down near the District Forest office (DFO) at race Cource on December 22nd is even more concerning.
According to the law, tree cutting permissions are required from both the state forest department and the local municipal corporation ¹. However, it seems that these regulations are not being enforced effectively in Coimbatore.
In other parts of India, like Delhi, the Supreme Court has taken action against illegal tree felling, directing the Delhi LG to file a personal affidavit and seeking action against erring officials.
It's essential for the District corporation and state government to take immediate action to address this issue. This can include:
- *Conducting an investigation* into the unauthorized tree cutting incidents
- *Taking action against erring officials* and contractors responsible for the tree cutting
The public can also play a crucial role in bringing attention to this issue and demanding action from the authorities.
