Delhi's Trees Pose Hazard Due to Concretization and Neglect

Delhi's Trees Pose Hazard Due to Concretization and Neglect

Imagine trees in Delhi are getting sick because they can't breathe properly.

People have built concrete around their roots, and no one is taking care of them.

When it rains or the wind blows hard, these weakened trees fall over, which is dangerous.

One day, a tree fell on a motorcycle, killing a man.

Now, the government is changing the rules so people can remove these dangerous trees more quickly.

The city is also supposed to prune the trees regularly.

But many people, like shop owners, are worried about the trees and fear something bad might happen.
