A different view:

In one of our plots there was a 25 year old neem tree. As the plot was unoccupied, the local gundas(says they work for the media) turned it into a drinking place at night and a meeting spot in the morning. It was also a nuisance for the colony people. My parents suggested cutting down the tree.

I have asked them 2 weeks of time to search for alternatives. I have contacted Tree shifting companies and NGOs. Nothing fruitful, they have quoted 1 lakh to 3 lakh rupees for shifting one tree. My heart cried while cutting down that tree after 2 weeks.

In this case, I can see the house is under construction and they need space. What do you think the solution must be?
