BMC undertakes a campaign to clear trees of trash; on the first day, over 30 kg of nails were removed

The BMC began a week-long citizen-led campaign on Monday to clear trees of debris such as concrete, nails, and cables, among other things. At Lower Parel on the first day of the drive, 300 trees were cleared of scrap, and by the end of the drive, 30 kg of nails had been removed.
"The volunteers who helped in the Lower Parel drive included students from schools, colleges, NGOs, and locals," BMC Assistant Superintendent of Garden G/South ward Avinash Yadav said of the eco-friendly endeavour. Cables, banners, posters, advertising boards, makeshift sheds connected to trees, and other items were removed in addition to nails pounded into trees. The trees' growth was being hampered by these factors.
"We also dug away the cement that was near the tree roots and filled it in with mud." "Halogen and floodlights that were tethered to the trees were also taken down," he continued. The removal of unmanaged wires was done with the help of BMC's electrical team, who gave instructions on how to handle live and dangerous lines.
Environmentalists from Borivali east, likewise, passionately joined in the push in their neighbourhood. "It took almost half an hour to remove the nails and banners from each tree," said Pankaj Trivedi of Kulupwadi. Some of the nails were bad, and when they were removed, the liquid began to seep from a tree." The total amount of rubbish collected will be published on April 22, which is World Earth Day, according to the BMC.
