I have dealth with so many road projects including National and State Highways...<br /><br />Now, as per GOI rule, the number of trees cut during widening ..has to be counted and thrice the number of trees have to be planted on a site identified...and in most cases it happens...especially ADB and world bank are very strict on the follow up... however, coming to the more complex problem of old trees being cut, there is no easy answers to them..generally, it is avoided during design stage..but a lot of contractors get away with tweaking design citing a lot of reasons, also since thrice the number of trees have to be planted anyways!!<br /><br />also in some states (like haryana) roadside after widening is transferred to forest depratment who then carry out roadside plantation..so if you go to any state or national highway there..you will beautiful road side trees all along...<br /><br />http://www.myunfinishedlife.comMy Unfinished Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585327291812330305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-24285850346937578502013-07-23T19:51:11.607+05:302013-07-23T19:51:11.607+05:30brother this destruction in the name of developmen...brother this destruction in the name of development ... But then there is no way out .. commuting fast is mandatory today ... yes the pity is .. the villagers who stay around may feel like crossing borders for going on the other side of the road .. my concern here is .. the trees which are cut down and money is minted out of it ..how are they balancing the ecosystem .. Govt needs to take initiatives of planting trees as well .. around the areas !!

One rule should be brought stating that for every x year old tree cut x no's of tree are planted and taken care till they become at least 1 yr old.
