City Spidey had a detailed conversation with an environmentalist Vikrant Tongad over the felling of forest trees for development of bio-diversity park in Sector-91 in Noida.

He talked about the Noida Authority’s decision to develop bio-diversity park in a forest area.

Tongad explained that disturbing the eco-system of the forest may have dangerous repercussions.

The environmentalist has already knocked the door of the National Green Tribunal against the large-scale chopping of trees.

He told that the move is neither beneficial for the nearby residents nor to the animals who have already lost their habitat.
