Civic body urges cooperation from residents as parked vehicles hinder pre-monsoon maintenance

Residential areas with many vehicles have stalled the tree trimming process
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Garden Department has started trimming trees, but workers cannot complete the work as vehicles parked on streets are creating obstacles. This has caused a hurdle, as the word has to be completed before the arrival of the monsoon.
Jitendra Pardeshi, Garden Superintendent of BMC, said, “In some areas, we are facing problems due to parked vehicles. In certain cases, our staff and contract workers appointed to trim the trees face opposition from the locals. We are appealing to citizens to cooperate with BMC staff as this is necessary pre-monsoon work.”
