Chandigarh, July 23

Residents of the PGI have objected sharply to the axing of trees near the workshop road (B Block) on the campus.

A resident said several trees were either being pruned or axed in the name of beautification. The drive to axe the trees was halted today, but it again began in the evening.

“Officials claim that they have permission to cut trees. In the name of beautification, the trees are being axed,” said Gaurav Shoeran, a resident and student.

The officials concerned were not available for comments on the issue.
