The government has cancelled the plan to build bungalows for ministers and MLAs by cutting 29000 trees in Bhopal. On Monday afternoon, Urban Administration and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya gave this information on social media X.
In the post it was mentioned that -The proposal has been rejected in view of environmental protection and existing trees in the area of the new Bhopal re-densification plan. Also, instructions have been given to test other alternative places.
Tweets will not work, the government should issue orders.
Even after the tweet of Urban Administration Minister Vijayvargiya, the demonstration to be held this evening will continue.
Former councilor Amit Sharma said that he has seen the tweet of Urban Administration and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya. Verbal assurances have been given many times before.
Former Chief Minister and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan had also said verbally, but we need orders. The government should issue orders. We will move only after this. The agitation to be held this evening will remain as it is. We will take out a candle march in the evening.
Former minister PC Sharma, councilor Yogendra Singh Guddu Chauhan, Congress Lok Sabha candidate Arun Srivastava and many others celebrated.
Continuous protests have been held against this project since June 12. Today also in the evening, a candle march will be taken out from the second stop, Tulsi Nagar. In which a large number of people will join and register their protest. Former councilor Amit Sharma said that these 29 thousand trees are 50 to 70 years old. People are coming out on the streets to save them.
MLA Bhagwandas Sabnani, who arrived during the protest in front of Nutan College on June 14, had also said that the identity of Bhopal is the ponds and the greenery here. Trees will not be cut under any circumstances. The residences of MLAs will be built at such places where there is no scope for cutting trees.
Earlier on June 13, women of Shivaji Nagar and Tulsi Nagar had clung to the trees during the protest. Women said that if trees are cut, they will protest fiercely. Even if the government puts them in jail. The government should not approve the plan.
MLA Bhagwan Das Sabnani expressed gratitude to the minister on X.
Former minister PC Sharma wrote on X - Minister has told that the houses being built for MLAs and ministers will not be built in Shivaji Nagar and Tulsi Nagar. I am grateful and thankful to him. But, nothing will happen with tweets. Government should issue orders, and mark the place where this project is being shifted. Tell the public that trees will not be cut there either. This is the victory of the common people. We will not allow tree cutting like this anywhere in Bhopal.
