💨 Abstract

In New Delhi, strong winds and heavy rain on May 2 uprooted between 100 and 200 trees, with authorities receiving over 270 complaints. Environmentalists blame the issue on unchecked urban development, particularly the concretisation of tree bases, which they say blocks water and air from reaching roots, causing the trees to fall. Experts suggest that authorities could save these trees if they attempted revival rather than immediate removal.
