In Naogaon, a Tree Cutting Festival is underway for road development, impacting 7 km of bypass road. While authorities cite a government tender for the work, locals voice concerns over the loss of aesthetic appeal, shade, and hindrance to movement. Approximately 200,000 diverse trees were planted in the last six months, according to residents. Suggestions include widening one side of the road while preserving trees on the other and replanting new trees. Environmentalists stress the importance of long-term planning for road construction and tree planting to mitigate climate change effects. Officials assure that trees are cut solely for road expansion, with plans for replanting fruit, forest, and medicinal trees. Conscious citizens express anger over the axing of trees planted decades ago.
