Hyderabad: Telangana government mulls translocation of trees on Secretariat premises #Gallery

Hyderabad: About 1,000 huge trees in the old Secretariat complex will be translocated before the construction of the new Secretariat. Only a few trees close to the giant buildings will be flattened, say official sources. A few trees were chopped off up to the stem to facilitate hassle-free demolition of the 10 structures on the premises. Nearly 800 trees planted along the Secretariat compound wall will also be translocated soon. Another 200 fully grown trees aged more than 20 years will also be shifted after conducting a study of the survival of the trees post translocation. (Photo: IANS)
