Jalna, November 11, 2026: A magnificent old tree stands in Kalikurti, near Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road, directly opposite the residence of Advocate Mahesh Dhannawat. Local residents believe it may be more than a century old, although its age has not yet been scientifically verified.
Residents recall a time when large trees lined both sides of Rajendra Prasad Road at intervals. Many of those trees are no longer visible. Similar concerns have been raised about the disappearance of old trees in the Kadrabad area. Residents want the authorities to investigate what happened to this once-familiar greenery and whether official records exist.
A Tree Residents Revere
According to local accounts, several residents pay their respects to the tree daily. Its broad canopy is said to make the surrounding area feel cooler, quieter and more peaceful. Beyond providing shade, the tree represents generations of local memory.
An Appeal to Civic Leaders
There is an appeal to Mayor Vandana Magre, MLA Arjunrao Khotkar, the District Collector and the Municipal Commissioner to visit the tree, appreciate its significance and take steps for its protection.
Geo-Tag and Register Heritage Trees
Jalna needs a systematic survey and geo-tagged digital inventory of its mature trees, recording their species, estimated age, location, condition and conservation needs. Periodic inspections and a protection plan could help prevent the loss of more irreplaceable urban greenery. A growing city must preserve its living natural heritage alongside new development.
