With the festive season around the corner, many cities across India are gearing up to decorate trees with colorful lights. However, in Pune, the Municipal Corporation has not yet taken action against this practice, despite a 2013 National Green Tribunal order.
Local organization Angholichi Goli has taken the initiative to engage with businesses and educate them on the harmful effects of artificial lighting on trees. They are encouraging businesses to voluntarily remove the lights to protect Pune’s green cover.
This issue underscores the importance of enforcing environmental laws and raising awareness about the impact of artificial lighting on urban trees. It is crucial for local authorities to take necessary steps to preserve the city’s green spaces and ensure sustainable development.
