The capital needs its treesAt least two ongoing state projects have left conservationists saddened. The trees, around half a century old, also provided much-needed shade and, without them, pedestrians must find the heat during the day time unbearable. In fact, a prominent member of the Rattanakosin committee previously told this newspaper that old trees are part of its conservation plan. Previously, the agency said it planned to replant the trees near the Memorial Bridge in Phra Nakhon district. Netizens must continue to keep an eye on the tunnel project to keep the BMA aware that it cannot always get away with its misdeeds.
