Forest Department permits felling of 56 deodar trees for the 1.8-km Manali bypass

The Forest Department granted permission to cut down 56 deodar trees for the 1.8-km Manali bypass, The Tribune reported, leaving the road awaiting administrative approval before tenders. About Rs 3.5 crore has been set aside, and the Chief Minister laid the foundation stone earlier in 2025. An earlier alignment along the Beas was dropped because of the number of trees that would have had to be felled.
