Pune Intensifies Pruning, Nullah Cleaning Amid Safety Concerns

Civic bodies in Pune are working to remove tree branches to prevent accidents and power outages.

This follows a recent death caused by a falling tree.

Activists say tree trimming has been slow due to delays and corruption in getting permissions.

Officials report completing most of the work but say early monsoon rains have slowed progress.

Cleaning of drainage systems is also behind schedule, leading to flooding and complaints about poor maintenance and garbage.
