Trees cut for widening the road at Nawadih in Dhanbad are being removed on Monday. “For plantation work, as per the laid norms, the funding is the onus of the agency involved in road broadening or construction. But as the agencies involved in road construction work lack the expertise in plantation it has been finally decided that forest department will do the job,” Lakra said. “As soon as funds are transferred to us by the road construction department, we will start the job at City Center-Barwaddah Road,” he said. Lakra added that it was a difficult task to find so much vacant land within the town to carry out plantation work.
