Besides, it will also have to relocate 58 old banyan trees (with big trunks) on the forest land at Jayakwadi Dam.May 5 was the official holiday, but the new civic chief G Sreekanth spent the whole day doing official work by sitting at Smart City Office. He took the review of the above road work and the details of trees getting affected in it.The garden superintendent Vijay Patil underlined that a Public Notice is going to be published before cutting trees. There are many big and old banyan trees on the road from Mahanubhav Ashram and ahead. Hence the relocation of these trees will take place at Jayakwadi.
