DEHRADUN: Protesters objecting to the felling of trees on Sahastradhara Road have alleged harassment by cops while they were carrying out a protest on Wednesday afternoon. The alleged harassment took place when residents and local activists were staging a Chipko-like protest to stop the felling of trees, which has been okayed by the high court.
"We were staging a peaceful protest near the Apollo School where the trees were being chopped down. Cops came to the site in large numbers and started questioning us. They asked for the home address of some of the protesters and even threatened us with arrest and legal action," said Anuradha (who goes by her first name), a city resident.
