Tribune Impact

Following a report in The Tribune on Sunday, the Municipal Corporation, Dehradun, swung into action and removed the tree that had fallen on the roof of a tin shed in the District Courts complex a couple of months back. The District Bar Association had had been pleading with the MC that the tree be removed but in vain. Lawyers as well as litigants heaved a sigh of relief after it was removed from the tin shed on Monday. The shed built during the British era is in a dilapidated condition.
