The very trees the people of Tehri Garhwal had hugged and saved many decades ago during the Chipko Movement are now in danger again. The forests which fall en route the power line being laid from the Tehri dam, according to the natives will result in destruction of over one lakh trees. This, they add, will play havoc with the delicate ecological balance of the beautiful hills.
