Beautification work of the Supreme Court compound is being conducted for years. This is our national heritage. So, this work is appreciable.

Presently, footpaths in the compound are being taken care of. It is a matter of pleasure that the work is being conducted without cutting any trees. That shows concern for the environment. This green area is also a good support to the environment. But something is going wrong now. Bricks are placed very close to the trees, which are marked in the footpath area. There is no blank space around the roots of those trees. As a result, it will hamper the growth of those trees. Roots of these trees should be encircled with some free space so that the trees can breath easily.

The authorities should see what they can do to avoid suffocation of the trees.
