The Forest dept was allegedly informed about the relevant dangerous trees on club road
Heavy rains wreaked havoc in the City on Tuesday evening. Vijay Kolhapure, 65, a resident of Kali-Ambrai, was killed on the spot after a tree came crashing down on him on Club Road.
According to the source, the forest department was given an idea about the relevant dangerous tree. The locals had reported to the Forest Department's ACF that the tree at the back of Harsha Enterprises on Club Road had entirely dried out and was at risk of collapsing at any time.
Last week, a parked car was severely damaged when a branch of the tree broke down. The electricity lines were likewise buried beneath the tree's branches.
Locals had also submitted a letter to the Forest Department's ACF in this regard.
The accident could have been averted if the Forest Department had taken notice of this letter in time.
