Punjab’s recently enacted tree protection law remains largely unenforced, leaving the state’s urban green cover vulnerable.
Punjab recently passed a tree protection law aimed at preserving urban green spaces.
Despite the legislation, the law has not been put into practice, with enforcement mechanisms still absent.
The lack of implementation has left the state’s urban forests and parks exposed to cutting and development pressures.
