Fallen Tree Transplanted After Puja Organizers' Intervention
A big tree in a park fell down, and the people in charge of a festival nearby wanted to save it.
They asked the city to help, and the tree was moved to a nearby college campus.
Special tree doctors were hired to carefully dig up the tree and replant it, like an organ transplant.
The tree's branches were cut to make it lighter, and medicine was added to help it stay healthy.
The college will water the tree and give it special food to help it grow.
City officials have stopped planting this type of tree because it is prone to falling.
A Radhachura tree at Park Circus Maidan fell after a storm.
Puja organizers contacted KMC to save the 100-year-old tree.
The tree was transplanted onto the Lady Brabourne College campus.
Mitri Mitti, an organization specializing in tree transplants, assisted.
KMC has stopped planting this type of tree because of its soft wood.
