Guwahati residents are staging a human chain protest against the proposed felling of over 70 trees, including centenarian specimens, for a flyover project in Bharalumukh. This protest follows a recent victory where public pressure led to the redesign of the Noonmati-Ambari flyover, saving trees near Dighalipukhuri. The Citizens’ Coordination Committee, led by Khanindra Lal Sharma, argues that the flyover construction would negatively impact the area’s residents and emphasizes the need for public consultation in developmental projects. The protest aims to highlight the importance of community engagement in significant local projects and seeks to establish meaningful dialogue with authorities regarding the flyover’s development. While Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced design changes to the Ambari-Noonmati flyover to protect trees near Dighalipukhuri, residents remain concerned about the impact of the Bharalumukh flyover project on the environment and community.
