The news that has come out now is that CMRL has got plans to plant about 25000 saplings in the coming days. Till now, CMRL has planted around 11000 saplings.
During the metro phase 2 construction, some trees would be removed and CMRL has taken a superb decision to plant saplings to replace the removed trees. This was as per the press note from CMRL. It is brought out that large trees that would be uprooted would be planted in some other suitable environment.
To compensate for the felling of trees in various places in Chennai, CMRL has planted 30 types of tree species and this work has been going on since November 2021. It is worthy to note that if the tree is 30cm in circumference then 12 saplings would be planted in its place when removed.
On all the 3 lines of the second phase of Chennai metro rail, up to now2600 trees have been cut. Truth is that to compensate for all these lost trees, 11000 saplings have been planted across 25 places in Chennai by CMRL and these saplings are being maintained well.
By July 2022, the rest of the trees are scheduled. It is learnt that 129 types of trees that could grow back are transplanted and cultivated in the suitable place.
