The BMC has cleared its own officials of wrongdoing following a fatal tree-fall incident in Chembur, Mumbai, instead placing responsibility on contractors. Urban forestry experts have criticized the report, calling for more scientific, continuous tree risk assessments.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) inquiry into tree-falling in Chembur, in which a child was killed, concluded holding the contractors accountable and giving a clean-chit to its own officials from garden and road departments, with recommendation for mandatory tree-root protection clause in all the tenders.
