🌳 A TREE'S ORIGIN DOESN'T DEFINE ITS VALUE. ITS ECOLOGICAL ROLE DOES!

Tomatoes came from Mexico. Potatoes from Peru and Ecuador. Bhindi from Africa. Even the magnificent Mahogany tree is originally from Africa.

So, should we stop eating tomatoes, potatoes or Vada Pav because they came from another continent?

Then why are we so quick to label every exotic tree as bad?

Pune's 3,500 acres of Gliricidia have played a role in protecting our hill slopes from erosion and degradation.

The answer is not to blindly cut them down and replace them with another plantation.

The answer is a scientifically planned, gradual transition towards diverse indigenous forests.

🌱 Conservation is not about replacing green with green. It is about understanding ecology.

Don't experiment with Pune's hills. Protect them with science, not assumptions.

SAVE PUNE'S HILLS. LET NATURE THRIVE!

👏🌳 Kudos to Mr. Paresh Jadhav for this brilliant and thought-provoking creative poster!

Sometimes, one powerful image speaks louder than a thousand words.

🌿 “Jungle jungle baat chali hai, pata chala hai… arey ped tod kar phool khila hai!”

A flower blooming on a tree stump — a powerful symbol of the painful irony of destroying nature in the name of development.

DEVELOPMENT OR DESTRUCTION?

To the ruling party, we ask: Who will take responsibility for the loss of our forests, biodiversity, and natural heritage?

We are not against development. We are against development that destroys the very environment we depend on to survive.

🙏 Thank you, Mr. Paresh Jadhav, for using your creativity to give a voice to nature and encourage citizens to question those in power.

🌳 SAVE BHIMASHANKAR. SAVE OUR FORESTS. SAVE OUR FUTURE.

🚨 49 TREES CUT. 32+ TREES BRUTALLY TRIMMED. AND NOBODY IS ACCOUNTABLE?

🌳 APPu GHAR, RAVET: WHO WILL ANSWER?

Permission to trim just 10 trees — but 49 trees allegedly cut and 32+ trees excessively trimmed. HOW? WHY? WHO AUTHORISED THIS?

We questioned PCMC Garden Department officials. We approached multiple police stations. We ran from Ravet to Nigdi to Dehu Road until 9:30 PM.

The result? No FIR. No clear jurisdiction. No accountability.

If the department responsible for protecting trees says it knew nothing, then WHO is responsible?

And if citizens cannot even establish which police station has jurisdiction over Appu Ghar, how are we supposed to seek justice?

🌳 Trees are not disposable objects. They are our shade, our clean air, our biodiversity and our children's future.

We are NOT asking for favours. We are demanding answers.

📢 PCMC Garden Department. Police Department. Police Commissioner. THE CITIZENS WANT ANSWERS!

Who gave the instructions? Who authorised the cutting? Will there be a proper investigation and action as per law?

⚠️ Today, it is Appu Ghar. Tomorrow, it could be the trees outside YOUR home.

TREES CANNOT SPEAK. CITIZENS MUST.

🔥 Share this video. Tag PCMC and the Pune Police. Let this issue reach the people responsible for protecting our environment.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. WE WILL KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS.

🚨 ARE WE REALLY LIVING IN A DEMOCRACY? 🇮🇳

You have my Aadhaar. You have my PAN card. You have my tax records, property records, vehicle details, electricity bills, gas connection, fingerprints and even my iris scan!

YET, YOU WANT ME TO PROVE THAT I WAS ON THE 2002 VOTER LIST TO EXERCISE MY RIGHT TO VOTE?

When the government needs something from us, it knows exactly where to find us. But when citizens need their names on the electoral roll, suddenly, years of records and documents are not enough!

Why should an ordinary citizen bear the burden of proving their existence when the government already holds so much information?

Why should genuine voters be made to run from pillar to post? And what happens to those who cannot produce decades-old records?

OUR VOTE IS NOT A FAVOUR FROM THE GOVERNMENT. IT IS OUR DEMOCRATIC RIGHT!

We pay taxes. We fulfil our responsibilities. We follow the rules. Yet, when it comes to exercising our most fundamental democratic right, we are left struggling to prove ourselves.

And what about accountability?

We place highly qualified people in positions of immense power. But no degree, no designation, and no prestigious institution should place anyone above public scrutiny.

IIT OR IAS — NO ONE IS ABOVE ACCOUNTABILITY.

A democracy is not measured by how powerful its institutions are, but by how fairly they treat their citizens.

If the electoral rolls need correction, correct them transparently. If verification is necessary, make it fair, accessible and accountable. Do not let genuine citizens lose their voice because of missing historical records or an inaccessible process.

🗳️ NO VOTE, NO VOICE. NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO DEMOCRACY.

📢 Raise your voice. Share the demand for accountability. Write to your Members of Parliament and demand a transparent, fair and citizen-friendly electoral verification process.

YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE. DON'T LET IT BE SILENCED! 🇮🇳

🚨 PUNE IS HEATING UP. AND WE ARE CONCRETING AWAY OUR FUTURE!

📍 Aundh-Baner Ward Office | 8 October 2026

Nearly 49°C land surface temperature. 63% of Pune covered in concrete. Only 6% tree cover remaining — these are the alarming figures raised during the conversation with the Road Department.

Pune is getting hotter. Our water needs are rising. And we are destroying the very trees that help us survive.

Think about it. More concrete means more heat. More heat means greater dependence on ACs, more water consumption and greater pressure on our already stressed water resources.

Pune received substantial rainfall, yet we are still facing water cuts. So why are we continuing to destroy green cover, increase concretisation and ignore the long-termoʻ consequences?

🌳 Trees are not decoration. They are our natural cooling system.
💧 Trees help protect our water cycle and soil.
🔥 Concrete traps heat. Trees help cool our surroundings.
🌍 Without green cover, what kind of future are we building?

Who will take responsibility when Pune becomes too hot to live in and water becomes even scarcer?

This is not just about the Builder Lobby, the Road Department or government projects. It is about a development model that puts concrete before climate, and projects before people.

Pune needs development, YES. But not at the cost of its trees, its water and its future.

ENOUGH CONCRETE. ENOUGH TREE LOSS. PUNE NEEDS A CLIMATE ACTION PLAN — NOW!

📢 Citizens must question every project that destroys our green cover. Because once a mature tree is gone, a sapling cannot replace its ecological value overnight.

🌳 SAVE TREES. SAVE WATER. SAVE PUNE.
