Pune Municipal Corporation to impose ₹1 lakh fine for tree cutting during Dussehra

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has announced a fine of ₹1 lakh for anyone found cutting trees during the Dussehra festival period. The measure is aimed at protecting green cover in the city during the festive season.

The corporation is taking steps to ensure that environmental regulations are strictly enforced to prevent unauthorised tree felling. The penalty is part of PMC's broader initiative to maintain and preserve trees across Pune.

This action reflects the civic body's commitment to environmental protection and sustainable urban development in the city.
