To ensure that citizens in Mumbai do not face inconvenience during the monsoon season, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has initiated the systematic pruning of tree branches across the city. In order to keep citizens informed in advance about the tree-pruning days in their respective areas, the Garden Department of the Mumbai civic body will publish the tree-pruning schedule on the social media handles of the respective administrative ward offices as well as on their notice boards, starting April 21.

Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Bhushan Gagrani and Additional Municipal Commissioner (Eastern Suburbs) Dr Amit Saini directed all the departments concerned to undertake pre-monsoon work in a timely manner and complete it within the set deadlines. Acting on these instructions, under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner (Gardens), Ajit Ambi, the Garden Department has accelerated its pre-monsoon preparations ahead of Mumbai Rains.
