Pune: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) recently told the Pune forest department to wrap up hill safety work in NIBM and Mohammadwadi before the monsoon. This came after residents raised concerns about forest encroachment and safety issues.

The NGT got involved after a news report highlighted worries from NIBM residents about forest destruction. They claimed it was causing serious civic problems. During a hearing, the forest department shared their findings, stating that no illegal activities were spotted during a site visit.

However, a resident pointed out that rainwater was causing soil erosion, leading to mud buildup in their area. She asked the forest department to take action to prevent this and complete a boundary wall that had been damaged. The department agreed to address the erosion and is working on a budget for soil and water conservation.

The NGT was pleased with the forest department’s response and emphasized the need to finish the safety work before the rains come.
