Green vanishes as highway expands - 9000 trees felled but no sign of re-plantation [1]

Balurghat, July 4: Almost 9,000 trees, some of them over a century old, have been felled along a 110-kilometre state highway that is being expanded, but not a single sapling has been planted under the re-plantation mandatory for such a project.
