Falling trees kill 3 in Mumbai: The role of concrete, weakened roots and high winds
Three people, including an 11-year-old boy, died in Mumbai due to falling trees amid heavy rains, with 559 incidents reported in just five days. The surge in tree falls has raised concerns about the city's road concretisation project, which may have weakened tree roots. Authorities are now scrutinizing tree protection norms as public safety becomes a pressing issue.
