Tree falls near school; no damage or loss of life

“There have been two-three instances wherein such trees bear the rain and thunderstorms but fall on a bright sunny day without any such trigger. It seems damage was already caused to the tree. We will be assessing the same,” said a senior official of the horticulture wing of the civic body. A report has been sought regarding the incident.

Already, in the Sector 9 incident where a huge heritage tree fell claiming the life of a student and injuring many, responsibility has not been fixed yet.

“It will be around two months in the Carmel school incident and the fixing of responsibility has not yet happened. It is lost in the process of making committees and other face-saving exercises. After initial action, all the functionaries revert to the old tradition of procrastination,” said R K Garg, president of Second Innings Association.
