Residents of Gulmohar Colony and Juhu Scheme in Mumbai have taken action against reckless tree pruning by civic contractors, leading to a partnership with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for a more sustainable approach to tree care. The initiative began after citizens reported excessive pre-monsoon trimming that left trees deformed and structurally imbalanced. Architect Samarth Das, leading the 'Keep Juhu Clean' campaign, emphasized the need for proper supervision of contractors. A corrective plan was established following a meeting with BMC officials, resulting in a pause on tree trimming and a survey to identify trees that truly needed pruning. This collaborative effort has reduced the number of trees marked for trimming and ensured that requests for additional work follow legal processes. The BMC has also identified over 75 locations for planting new saplings, with 35 locations shortlisted for specially designed tree pits ahead of the monsoon. The community's involvement is crucial for restoring the area's lost green cover and ensuring the health of existing trees.
