Chennai: Miyawaki forest 2,000 seconds founded by residents and bronze students of high school Corporation is at risk of being a destroyer because of the larger Chennai corporate officials have begun to throw construction debris near the trees.
Locals said that civil body officials had previously planted trees planted on land owned by the Ministry of Public Works near the lake.
“About 20-25 factories were removed using earth drivers in December last year to make warehouses to park vehicles operated with batteries from contractors.
We have protested and they offered us 20,000 square feet of Osr solar close.
But now, they throw debris There.
We want to establish other Miyawaki forests there, “he said.
A civil body official said that they only used temporary spaces because the debris would be sent to the construction plant near the Perungudi landfill.
“Some people throw it illegally at night too,” he told Toi.
The lake actually belongs to PWD.
The Association of Transformation of the Bronze Marine Lake Perungudi (Planet) has worked in coordination with PWD in organizing several tree planting activities and lake rejuvenation festivals since 2016.
More than seven housing colonies are part of this association.
P Sajeevan, a resident, stated that a few days ago, the Civic’s body began to clean the rubble from the land of Osr.
“But they continue to throw it near the Miyawaki forest in the school land,” he said, adding that citizenship officials in the zone always did not support plans to maintain Miyawaki forests.
A corporate official told TII that they would find an alternative plot for this purpose.
