Nature lovers of Dharwad, who are actively involved in increasing the green cover, have expressed concern over the shrinking greenery in the city and demanded action against those who were nailing the trees to display advertisements. Under the aegis of Nature First, a non-government organisation, the nature lovers met officials of the Department of Forest and Public Works on Friday and urged them to take immediate steps to protect the age-old trees in the city facing threat of being felled on the pretext of development. They said that the forefathers of the city had planted trees along the roads and on government office premises with a vision to keep the city green. But now on the pretext of widening roads and laying concrete roads trees were being felled mercilessly, they told the PWD officials.
