Some kids are extremely cool and know exactly what they are talking about. One such kid made us proud when he made a complaint against a man for getting penalized a sum of Rs 62,000 for cutting a tree at Saidabad in Hyderabad.

The class 8th boy called the Telangana Forest Department’s toll-free number (1800 425 5364) to report the axing of a neem tree which is around 40 years old.

The boy acted quickly and as he was environmentally aware he dialed the toll-free number and informed that a tree was being cut which resulted in the man paying a hefty fine of Rs 62,000.

According to New Indian Express, the officials responded immediately and fined G Santhosh Reddy for cutting the tree where he was constructing a house. Hyderabad Forest Range Officer Ch Venkataiah Goud said, “At 4 am, the boy called our toll-free number and informed that a chopped tree was being loaded into a vehicle to be moved away.”

 “The staff that answered the call informed me and I also spoke with the boy. He refused to reveal his name and other details but said he was a member of the Green Brigade,” he added.

The Telangana government had directed the schools to create ‘Green Brigades’ with students and teachers to protect the fauna and flora planted as part of the scheme.

After receiving the complaint, Goud and the other Forest Department Staff rushed to the spot where they found the tree cutting equipment. They also found that the man who cut the tree dialed to follow the due procedure and also did not take any permission to do the same.
