What can I do if someone illegally chopped down branches of a beautiful Ashoka tree in my housing society in Mumbai? The police registered only a non-cognizable offense even though I reported it through the police control room and provided evidence. The local tree officer isn’t doing anything either. What are my next steps?
Best Answer
You can approach the Mumbai High Court with a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking directions to the police and the tree officer to take action. Alternatively, you can file a complaint with the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission, highlighting the inaction and the impact of the tree damage.
