Stop the tree massacre !🌳🪓@moefcc Pune's urban canopy is destroyed by illegal felling's, failed transplantations & paper-only plantations.@PMCPune @pcmcindiagovin officers always fail in their duties. This environmental crisis is an everyday fight for citizens! @CMOMaharashtra
🚨 49 TREES CUT. 32+ TREES BRUTALLY TRIMMED. AND NOBODY IS ACCOUNTABLE? 🌳 APPu GHAR, RAVET: WHO WILL ANSWER? Permission to trim just 10 trees — but 49 trees allegedly cut and 32+ trees excessively trimmed. HOW? WHY? WHO AUTHORISED THIS? We questioned PCMC Garden Department officials. We approached multiple police stations. We ran from Ravet to Nigdi to Dehu Road until 9:30 PM. The result? No FIR. No clear jurisdiction. No accountability. If the department responsible for protecting trees says it knew nothing, then WHO is responsible? And if citizens cannot even establish which police station has jurisdiction over Appu Ghar, how are we supposed to seek justice? 🌳 Trees are not disposable objects. They are our shade, our clean air, our biodiversity and our children's future. We are NOT asking for favours. We are demanding answers. 📢 PCMC Garden Department. Police Department. Police Commissioner. THE CITIZENS WANT ANSWERS! Who gave the instructions? Who authorised the cutting? Will there be a proper investigation and action as per law? ⚠️ Today, it is Appu Ghar. Tomorrow, it could be the trees outside YOUR home. TREES CANNOT SPEAK. CITIZENS MUST. 🔥 Share this video. Tag PCMC and the Pune Police. Let this issue reach the people responsible for protecting our environment. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. WE WILL KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS. #SaveTrees #AppuGhar #Ravet #Pune #PCMC #TreeCutting #TreeProtection #EnvironmentalJustice #PunePolice #Accountability #SaveOurGreenCover #CitizensVoice #UrbanForests #PuneEnvironment #ChaloPMC

🚇The government be like: 😅The public will appreciate the Metro way more if we make them suffer (tadpa ke), tease them with glimpses (dikha ke), and constantly remind them of our favors (jata ke) before finally launching it. It’s a win-win situation for never ending project.👏

Residents are struggling with construction dust Bombay HC has pulled up BMC&MPCB over poor enforcement How many more warnings do authorities need Dust needs to be controlled at source Water sprinkling alone won't solve the problem We have enough rules Where is the enforcement

in aug2026, @MahaForest chopped off 100s non-native trees on @GreenSunriseHiL (GSH) #Wagholi. Indian silverbill ( @MerlinBirdID ) shifted to nearby society & laid eggs outside bathroom pipes. Small baby is taking off now. 20+ peacocks also unhappy with disruptions @PavanjitMane1

The reality of tree transplantation by @PMCPune 🌳💀 45 of 109 transplanted trees in KP are dead. Residents dispute even this count! Cut their canopies, damage their roots move them & call it saving trees or disguising tree destruction as #transplantation ? Who is accountable?

@PMCPune Your failed #Pune Air Action Plan certainly asked us to develop lungs of steel with permanent coughing! The dust remains perfectly suspended in the atmosphere for us all to enjoy meanwhile our taxes are enjoyed by you😆 @MDNagpure @navalMH @mpcb_official @isiddheshRkadam
Mist fountains installed to help control dust and air pollution in Baner are raising questions over their operational status and maintenance. With public money being spent on pollution-control measures, residents deserve answers on whether these installations are working effectively. Will PMC step in and ensure proper maintenance? #Baner #Pune #PuneNews #PMС #AirPollution

I go to office in ABZ baner which is Just 800 meters from my Society . In Just 800 meter patch from Balewadi Phata to ABZ i come across 1] encroachment shops keep their goods on the footPath . 2] Garbage at Nirman Greens 3] Broken footpath 4] Nearly 10-15 people driving on footpath and honking . Once i didn't give side to motor cyclist on footpath so he was threatening me then i turned on camera and he ran away . @navalMH Baner is IT park and in just 800 m patch i am facing all this problems . Can't imagine entire PMC situation . @MhalungeSpeaks @bwfpune @VijayKumbhar62
PMC advises citizens to walk to nearby destinations. But how can people walk when footpaths are encroached upon or occupied by repair work? Even PMC officers conducting surveys have been seen walking on the road because the footpaths are broken. @navalMH @MAHA_UDD @navipeth

एकेक किलोमीटरसाठी वाहन कशाला? असे विचारून आपण पायी चालण्याचा, सायकल वापरण्याचा सल्ला देत आहात. पण फुटपाथ नीट आहेत का? फुटपाथवर अतिक्रमण करून स्टॉल्स उभारलेले आहेत. रस्त्यांवर खड्डे आहेत, गर्दी आहे आणि टँकर, मिक्सर भरधाव वेगाने धावत धावतात. सायकल चालवणे सुरक्षित आहे? @navalMH
एक किलोमीटरसाठी वाहन कशाला? जवळच्या अंतरासाठी पायी जा, किंवा सायकल वापरा ! आरोग्य ही उत्तम राहील, आणि प्रदूषण ही कमी होईल ! नागरी सेवा, शहरातील अधिकृत माहिती आणि सार्वजनिक उपक्रमांची माहिती एका क्लिकवर मिळवण्यासाठी PMC CARE ॲप आजच डाउनलोड करा: fxurl.co/PMCCARE #saveenvironment #airpollution #ReducePollution #gogreen #walkforhealth #cycleforhealth #SustainableMobility #PublicAwareness #MOHUAIndia #moefccindia @SwachhBharatGov @swachhbharat @majhivasundhara

1 million years from now, the Somalian tectonic plate is going to collide with the Indian tectonic plate. That collision will create an equally high mountain range like the Himalaya on the western coast. Imagine being the first Somalian to trek up till Pune, only to see Hinjawadi metro still not inaugurated.

THE REAL COST OF DEVELOPMENT!!! A road may be built in a few years. A family's home, savings and sense of security may take a lifetime to rebuild. Development is progress only when the people expected to live with its consequences are protected—not forgotten. Scary !!!

If the supreme court has to threaten a dharna for basic civic issues' resolution then just imagine the plight of the common man and his ordeal for civic issue resolution. @MC_Panchkula ,@PMDAPanchkula could you please take up the issues for safe and walkable footpaths for all.

81 mature trees felled. 56 transplanted trees reportedly failed to survive Now 7 young trees nurtured by citizens have been cut Does PMC have any strategy to protect Pune’s trees or is every new project another excuse to destroy them? timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…
