GREATER NOIDA: Of the over 11,000 trees that are to be felled for the development of the Jewar international airport in Greater Noida, some 200 will be transplanted by the nodal agency developing the greenfield airport. And so far, 68 trees have been transplanted, officials have said.
“Currently, species like Sheesham, Mango and Neem trees are being transplanted,” Christoph Schnellmann, the CEO of Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL), told TOI. “The transplantation is being carried out through the scientific process of pruning, rootball preparation, tree shifting and planting under the supervision of experts. Organic manure is also being used during this process.”
