RESTORING OF CYCLONE UPROOTED TREES IN FORT WILLIAM KOLKATA
Cyclone Remal battered Kolkata leaving behind a trail of destruction at number of places including the military areas. At Fort William Military Station, several large and old trees bore the brunt of nature and were uprooted. Usually, they would have been sawed into smaller chunks and removed to allow traffic and other activities.
However, this time, the Indian Army and Mithri Mitti joined hands to plant them back firmly and restore them to their original glory using soldier power and some heavy cranes. Amongst those given the new lease of life, were two 100-year-old Banyan trees and other decade-old Peepal and Jamun trees.
