CHENNAI: Greater Chennai Corporation on Saturday handed over 323 sq m of Panagal Park to metro rail for construction work, but the council resolution for this is silent on whether the green committee was consulted or whether the committee will supervise the fate of the 87 trees that have to be cut.
No tree can be cut without the nod of the green committee set up last year to frame guidelines for conserving urban green space. It is mandated to study if trees can be saved or transplanted before giving permission to cut.
