223 full-grown trees to face axe for rly station upgrade
In what appears to be a big blow to the environment that will further reduce the already depleting green cover and supplement the rising pollution levels in the industrial hub, as many as 223 full-grown trees will be axed to pave way for the major upgrade of the Ludhiana railway station, the Northern Railway has confirmed.
An ambitious project with an outlay of Rs 528.95 crore and completion deadline of August 2, 2025, has been put to work for giving a new and modern look to the British era’s biggest junction in the Ferozepur Railway Division, officials have stated.
