NMC transplants 84-year-old 30-ft tall heritage tree with special transplanter

1 2 3 4 Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Monday successfully carried out a trial transplantation of an 84-year-old Peepal tree using a specialised machine, marking a significant milestone in urban green space management, environmental conservation and promoting a greener city. The 30 feet tall heritage tree, originally located near Bhande Plot Chowk in front of Mukherjee Multispeciality Hospital was transplanted near Sheetala Mata Temple, close to the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) office, without damaging its roots or trunk, said NMC officials. The tree was transplanted to clear the way for works related to the construction of the Indora-Dighori flyover, they said. NMC's garden and workshop department used the high-end tree transplanter machine purchased at a cost of Rs5.47 crore under the District Planning Committee funds. The regional transport office (RTO) also allotted a vehicle registration number for the machine. Notably, this is only the second such machine in Maharashtra — the first being with the Thane Municipal Corporation. Operated remotely, the machine is equipped with a 1,600-litre water tank that continuously hydrates the tree's roots during both extraction and replanting, ensuring minimal shock to the plant, said officials. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo First, a large pit was excavated around the base of the tree using a JCB.
