Nagpur: Taking a signal from a large logging on a 50-year-old tree by PWD near Bapu Kuti in Wardha, Greens has demanded amendments to the Laws of Maharashtra (regulatory), 1964, on the Maharashtra line (urban areas) Preservation & Protection Tree Act, 1975.ON July 6, the state government of Maharashtra (urban marriage) Preservation & Tree Protection of Law, 1975, gives ‘heritage’ status to a 50-year-old tree, in addition to logging of more than 200 trees that need a state-level committee nod.
The 1975 law applies in city corporations and jurisdiction of the city council.
“Why should there be two different actions? Climate change does not discriminate between urban and rural areas.
It is wise to make better provisions to regulate the logging of certain trees in the state of making Patwaris, Gram Sevaks, and Patil Police responsible for reporting Logging of illegal trees, “said Green Crusader Anusaya Kale-Chhabrani.” The word ‘Rules’.
The most important part of the Lemogangan Maharashtra Tree (Regulation) Act, 1964.
This law is often beaten by regulations, thus creating smoke for the effect that this action facilitates Tree cuts.
Instead, this action is for conservation purposes, “said Alok Bang, an ecologist pioneered the fight against a loggered tree in Wardha.
Act 1964 clearly stated – “In fact, it is wise to make better provisions to regulate the logging of certain trees.
In the state of Maharashtra, for the purpose of its preservation, and for land protection against erosion …”.
“We failed to benefit from The law was changed in 1975 because it was not valid in rural areas.
In Maharashtra, most trees cut down mostly for widening roads outside of urban and city boundaries.
In Wardha District also, 80% of trees that are cut down are within rural limits .
Therefore, to save such inheritance trees and green closure, the 1964 action needs to be given more teeth, “said Bang.
The latest IPCC report describes bleak images for human tragedies that are transmitted by the Indian environment.
Trees are not only an effective carbon storage device, but their cuts also lead to greenhouse gas emissions back to the atmosphere, which leads to global warming.
Bang told me that according to the MOEFCC report, 1.09 Crore trees were officially cut between 2014-2019 (unofficial it could be more than double).
With 10.70 the lakh tree cut down, Maharashtra occupies the second position in the second position among Indian countries and UTS, only the second behind Telangana.Chabrani said, “In 1964, when this action came into force, a scenario in the rural part was different.
With LPG reaching every village now, not all depends on wood for firewood.
With small small town boundaries, most tree cover falls outside the city limits and will not benefit from the 1975 actions that are changed.
Therefore, invite — 1964 requires a total overhaul.
“” Because fast infrastructure projects in urban areas there are less than one tree per person in most cities, including Nagpur.
Even though the action 1974 is a welcome step to overcome this critical situation, the tree cover in the rural Continue to be threatened, “said the Green Jaydeep Das campaign.” According to The Maharashtra Village Pancayat Act 1959, Part 54A-O & 54B-K Panchayats Village and Gram Sabhas has administrative power to regulate logging trees.
Unfortunately, ignorance on the ground allows authority to cut the process or abuse the government machine, “he said.” Trees outside the urban area like ‘no child’.
Large trees are cut down easily so that under the cover of darkness both literally and legally.
It’s time for the logging of ancient Maharashtra trees (regulations) of the law, in 1964, changed, “said an activist.
Why two trees act for the same purpose? * Maharashtra (urban area) Preservation & Protection Tree Act, 1975, changed on the 6th July 2021 * This allows the 50-year-old trees as a ‘inheritance’ tree with the aim of increasing forest cover and tree * will be mandatory to plant trees equivalent to the age of trees cut down by trees permitted for development projects * Trees planted need 6-8 High legs and survival must be ensured by geographical tagging permission * for more than 200 tree logging will go to the State Tree Authority Maharashtra * Now the tree census to be held every five years by using new technology such as GIS-based applications
Why does two tree logging acting when the goal is to save trees?
