Aditta Saha : Because of the concrete of the city footpath, the roots of the trees cannot go underground. As a result, the foundation of trees is not strong and the plants are dying. When there is a storm, many times for the building plants does not hit by the storm. But the places where there are no building, trees are damaged by the storm badly. As a result the trees are uprooted. I think the tree branches are damaged more than the trees in the storm. But this is not something unusual. If it really were an abnormal incident, we would see its impact on the whole country. There is no relation to artificially when the plants are uprooted. It is natural for plants to break down after storm. Because it is summer season and in that case there will be storm. The rain is not happening in the whole country at a same time. If it is seen in one area, it would not see in other areas. Negligence and lack of proper maintenance of trees are also responsible. As a result, in the cities so that the trees can grow properly, the roots should be taken into account by looking at the issues.
