Bovine attack thwarts Horticulture Dept's grand plan

Greater Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) on Thursday planted around 150 trees near Fusion homes and cherry county, a residential township in Techzone IV. According to the residents, in a matter of a few hours, the plants were eaten by stray cattle.

On Thursday, Fusion Homes residents twitter account tweeted, "Thanks to Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority for wasting the money and killing the plants. These plants just added to your books but not in reality. All eaten by stray cattle. Plant less but save whatever we plant. This is purely careless and intentional".

"The plantation without tree guards or fencing is of no use. Most of  the plants were eaten by stray cattle on the same day they were  planted. This is a waste of resources and efforts", said Robin Mittal, a resident of Fusion Homes.

Various residents of Cherry county and Fusion homes raised  the complaint to the Horticulture Department to provide tree guards for the plant. According to the residents, officials from the Horticulture Department visited the area on Friday. They assured the residents that they will  arrange tree guards and also will provide a facility of watering plants through tankers.

"Today, Horticulture Department officials visited the area and a joint inspection was done with Cherry Green Circle, a small residential group of Cherry County Society. The horticulture department team has assured us that they will do the needful for the proper maintenance of these plants", said  Manish Tripathi, a resident of Cherry County Society.

City Spidey talked to an official from the Horticulture Department, Mukesh Kumar. He said, " We will take care of the plants by watering them daily and  also will ensure tree fencing to protect the plants from stray cattle".
