Tree, branch crash on M K Amman Koil St. People want GCC to check state of avenue trees

Senior citizen K R Jambunathan and his wife had a narrow escape this evening when what seemed to be a dead branch of a tree off Sri Mundagakanni Amman Kpil Street came crashing down.

The tree is located inside the Angala Parmeswari Temple.’ The branch, a big one that had blocked traffic, was removed by civic staff after Jambunathan reported it on the WA groups of the local MLA and ward councillor.

Jambunathan says that a week ago, a tree by the roadside here had come crashing down.

He says that GCC needs to ask its staff to do another check of avenues trees and see if they pose a danger after the first set of rains.
