Nagpur citizens protesting against felling of Ajni trees for NHAI’s inter-modal station
The Chipko movement originated in Uttar Pradeshs Mandal village in 1973, which was triggered by government’s decision to allot forest land to a sports goods company that had prompted the Union government to amend the Indian Forest Act (1927) and introduce the Forest Conservation Act (1980).
The citizens, during the movement, promised their allegiance towards protection of trees, nature and environment, Kunal Mourya, one of the organizers of the event, told Nation Next.
Before the Chipko movement took place, the organisers had led the activists for a walk on the narrow lanes of the colony . Later, they all gathered below a 100-year-old tree which nested three spotted owls, a pair of grey hornbills, around four to five Yellow footed green pigeon (state bird of Maharashtra) and over a dozen parakeets all chirping and perching.
Organisers explained how alternative areas were not explored and the selection of Ajni for IMS project was a window towards further infrastructure projects like malls, commercial complexes and offices which would destroy the lungs of Nagpur.
