Seven hundred trees were felled to clear land for a stadium construction project in Madhya Pradesh. The felling was carried out as part of the site preparation work.
In response, authorities have instructed the state to plant seven thousand trees as a compensatory measure. The directive seeks to balance the loss of green cover caused by the stadium development.
Officials indicated that the replanting follows a ratio of ten saplings for each tree removed, consistent with standard afforestation norms. No additional information about the stadium’s location or completion schedule has been provided.
