Michaung teaches a lesson from a ‘classroom’ in Chetpet

Cyclone Michaung and what a classroom in Chennai did with the uprooted trees

A point reiterated by Michaung is that when trees are planned, they need to be planned in a manner they would avoid the brick and mortar that would arrive on the scene in the future. At the Greater Chennai Corporation park that sits where Mayor Ramanathan Salai intersects with Dr. Santosham Road in Chetpet, two massive trees were uprooted by Michaung, the “unreliable earth” under their “feet” conspiring with the cyclone. These trees were standing on the walkway, as is evident from these images from December 14. Trees that stand on earth continue to do so, at the park.
