The National Green Tribunal sought a detailed account of funds spent and the survival rate of 80,000 planted saplings from the Forest Department and BMC. The tribunal directed authorities to account for all saplings planted over the past five years that withered due to lack of water or maintenance. The tribunal also questioned why plantation work was not carried out during the 2026 monsoon using funds deposited for the purpose in 2025.
