Residents living near the Balewadi Main Road are fuming over the recent cutting down of six full grown
trees lining the
footpath that were not only hacked without any prior intimation, but officials seem to be completely clueless over the

They have slammed the authorities of the
Smart City Project, run jointly by the state and the Centre, and demanded an immediate enquiry.
