Description : During the demolition of the abandoned house, which was over 100 years old, workers discovered that a large Pigeon wood or Indian Charcoal Tree (Trema orientalis) and Sacred fig or Peepal trees (Ficus religiosa) had grown atop the structure, with their roots entwined throughout the building. To prevent the trees from falling onto a neighboring house during the demolition, workers climbed onto the unstable structure without safety gear to cut them down. Ultimately, an excavator was used to completely raze the entire building to the ground. According to the Supreme Court of India, municipal authorities are required to demolish unsafe buildings to protect lives, following the proper legal procedures. West Bengal, India.
