Guwahati, Oct 22: The Public Works Department (PWD) has issued a clarification regarding ongoing public discussions and allegations of large-scale tree cutting at Dighalipukhuri for the proposed flyover construction, asserting that not a single tree has been felled and that all 77 affected trees were carefully transplanted to nearby locations.

According to PWD officials, the transplantation was carried out as part of the Maharaj Prithu flyover project. The work was executed by a Delhi-based company with experience in large-scale tree relocation.

“From Guwahati Club to Rabindra Bhawan, a total of 77 trees were impacted due to the project. We did not cut any of them. All were successfully transplanted with 34 at the Handloom Textiles premises and 43 at Lachit Ghat,” said Bhaskar Bhagawati
