Kolkata: New estimate pegs green loss at 15,000

The city has lost an estimated 15,000 trees, 40% among them full-grown, in cyclone Amphan. This is three times the loss estimated earlier. KMC’s parks department and civil engineering department have made this preliminary assessment borough-wise. The multi-agency clean-up, meanwhile, continued on Sunday and most of the Kolkata’s arterial roads could be opened to traffic, some along a single-lane.
