A decades-old tree on the premises of the Legislative Assembly was felled on Saturday (September 23) in a knee jerk reaction to a freak mishap the previous day.
According to experts, the tree, which stood near the Assembly canteen, belonged to Polyalthia species and was 40-50 years old. A few workers climbed the tree and removed its canopy before bringing it down using ropes.
This came a day after another fully grown tree, possibly under the impact of rain, fell on a two-wheeler, spreading panic among visitors. Three weeks ago, a massive tree got uprooted near Old MLA Quarters and fell on an autorickshaw, killing the driver.
