Chandigarh: A group of citizens met Municipal Commissioner Dr Roshan Sunkaria today and submitted a representation and report about discrepancies associated with felling of trees in Sector 15 for the purpose of road widening. The group comprised of Ramneek Bansal, Dr Gaurav Chhabra and Vivek Aditya. The report prepared by the group states that while the Municipal Commissioner ordered to stop cutting of trees till today, the same day officials of the civic body renumbered some of the trees and also cut one of the thickest trees to remove the evidence of false measurements. The volunteers over the last two days have conducted the survey of trees. The report states that since the numbering was incorrect more trees were cut than the approved number. The thicker trees are cut first, it said.
