Guwahati Residents Concerned Over Unscientific Tree Relocation
Imagine they are moving trees to build a bridge.
People are worried because they think the way the trees are being moved might hurt them.
The workers are cutting the trees, and some residents think they're not using the right tools or being careful enough.
