Over 400 mature trees along a 3-km divider in Armoor were cut down allegedly to install advertisement hoardings, sparking public outrage. The trees, planted a decade ago under the Haritha Haram programme, had grown into full shade canopies and served as an important safety buffer on the Armoor–Nizamabad road. BRS leader A. Jeevan Reddy blamed municipal officials for allowing the mass felling without approvals and demanded strict criminal action. Locals say the removal has scarred the town’s landscape and undone years of afforestation efforts.
