Four days after cyclone Tauktae hit Mumbai, public representatives and residents' welfare groups have now started to take matters into their own hands and clear uprooted trees. According to BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), 812 trees had uprooted and 1,454 branches had fallen during the cyclone between May 16 and May 18 in all the 24 municipal wards of the city. Civic officials said that this is the highest number of trees that fell during a cyclone or storm in many years. As a result, the garden cell is taking more time than usual to clear uprooted trees.
