MCC to Fine Contractors for Blocking Tree Percolation Space

The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is now going to fine people who block the space around trees, which is important for them to absorb water.

This is because the Green Tribunal and activists are worried about protecting trees in Mysuru.

The MCC will fine people Rs 2,000 for not leaving enough space.

The forest department found that on some roads, like Vinobha Road, contractors did not leave enough space around trees during construction, hindering their growth.

The MCC is working to fix this and make sure there's space for trees to absorb water.

This follows a National Green Tribunal directive about protecting trees during construction.
