Punjab cabinet passes Tree Protection Bill; 10 saplings must be planted for every cut tree

If you cut down a single tree in Punjab, you will now be required to plant 10 new ones. This rule is part of the Punjab Protection of Trees Bill, which was recently approved by the State Council of Ministers during a meeting led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann. The new legislation establishes a legal system to control the cutting, removal, and transplantation of trees.
