Mr. Dighe (Contractor person from Valecha group)

Discussion:
1. The contractor and PMC personal are looking at saving trees as well as few trees have been replanted on the banks of the river opposite Bundgarden river bank. But the replantation (40 trees) is limited to the number of the trees been chopped-off.
2. Planting trees on the "flower bed" area marked and constructed on road-side. (Photo attached of the sample flower-bed area, area under the yellow-black stripes)
