In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that real estate developer Pentagon Premises Pvt. Ltd. has been illegally chopped trees on a private plot being developed by their company in Andheri West.

According to reports, the company had acquired a large sized redevelopment project at a prime location of the city and had started construction of a residential complex. However, the land that the company had acquired had several trees, where any kind of illegal tree cutting was strictly prohibited, as per Government Norms.

Our News Reporter asked the company’s representatives present on the construction site regarding a permission letter with the following details: The trees’ species, size (height and girth), the number of trees to be trimmed, the number of branches on the trees to be cut, their size, location, the date when the permission was given, reason for trimming. On asking the same, the representatives of Pentagon Premises Pvt. Ltd. had no information on the same.

We also asked them to produce a Permission Letter, incase trees are being fully cut, including details of: The tree’s species, size (height and girth), location, the date when the permission was given, reason for cutting along with a mention if the tree has to be transplanted at another location. On asking the same, the representatives of Pentagon Premises Pvt. Ltd. had no information on the same.

Despite producing the required legal documents to the journalist covering this illegal activity, the company went ahead and continued cutting down trees on the land. The illegal activity was brought to the attention of Mumbai Uncensored’s journalists by concerned citizens who had noticed the activity.

Upon investigation, it was found that the company had cut down several trees, many of which were of significant age and size. The illegal activity had caused a significant impact on the local ecosystem, affecting the habitat of several species of animals and birds.

The local authorities have no idea about this activity. We have asked Mr. Ithape from BMC’s Garden Deparment to taken a strict stance against the company and have issued a notice to stop all construction work on the land. The company should also been fined heavily for its illegal activity, as well as an FIR must be registered, as per rules.

Environmentalists and conservationists have condemned the actions of the company and have called for stricter laws to protect the environment. They have also called for more stringent penalties for companies and individuals who engage in such illegal activities.

The incident has once again highlighted the need for companies to follow legal regulations and to be more responsible in their actions. It is crucial that we protect our environment for future generations, and such incidents only serve as a reminder of the need to be more vigilant in protecting our natural resources.

9 Indian States at a risk of damage due to climate Change!

According to Cross Dependancy Initiative (XDI), a group of companies, the destruction of the natural environment in 2,600 states and provinces worldwide by the year 2050 would be directly caused by the cost of climate change and other factors of our surroundings, such as homes and workplaces.

The XDI has compared these overall Gross Domestic Climate Risk Data in accordance with modelled projections (also known as the outcomes of damage) that will destroy homes and other structures as a result of extreme weather and climate change, such as flooding, forest fires, heat waves, and sea level rise, with a special focus on China and India. Organizations, institutions, and establishments, on the other hand, are less at risk of climate change damage.

80% of the Top 50 most vulnerable states in 2050, according to the analysis, will be in China, the United States, and India. India has 9 states that are currently ranked in the Top 50, including Bihar (22nd place), Uttar Pradesh (25), Assam (28), Rajasthan (32), Tamil Nadu (36), Maharashtra (38), Gujarat (48), Punjab (50), and Kerala (52).

Pakistan is among the Top 100 countries, alongside China, India, and the US. Sindh Province, a region of Pakistan, experienced a 30% collapse between June and August 2022, causing damage to nine lakh houses in the same area.

This is the first time that physical climate risk analysis has compared every state, province, and territory in the world with information about the built environment. Additionally, fully developed Asian economic centers from the Top 100 list, such as Beijing, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Taiwan, and Mumbai are also included in the category of high risk for climate change damage.

According to XDI CEO Rohan Hamden, we are only now beginning to have a thorough understanding of the physical climate danger that would result in flooding of China’s Yangtze and Pearl rivers, which will have a significant impact on economically significant US states like California, Texas, and Florida. Brazil and Indonesia will also suffer harm.

In terms of total damage risk, Asia will be more impacted because it experiences more extreme weather due to climate change. Infrastructures often collapse owing to heavy economic activity and capital worth, but today they will disappear due to risky causes brought on by climate change.

Reporters were told by Shivraj Singh Chauhan, the chief minister of the state of Madhya Pradesh, that 12 more cheetahs are being transported from African nations as a part of the project.

Bharat received eight large cats in the month of September, and the remaining 12 arrived after some time. The newly arrived animals will soon be released into Kuno Palpur National Park (spread over 748 Square Kilometers) in Sheopur District  where there is little human activity, plenty of water, and a large number of herbivorous species, which will help them survive in their new habitat environment.

The introduction program, of which the 12 cheetahs were a part, has planned to introduce 50 additional animals in various parts of the nation over the next five years in order to increase space for faunal diversity and promote tourism.

Africa’s new cheetahs originated in South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana. Due to poaching and the destruction of their natural habitats, Asiatic animals were declared vanished in Bharat in 1952.
