The love of the residents of Sajivothama for nature is such that they have declared that they would immolate themselves if the authorities went ahead with plans to cut trees in the area. The colony yesterday witnessed a rare agitation with men and women in large numbers dousing themselves with kerosene and threatening to set themselves afire if the authorities did not give up their plan to cut and prune trees for charging an overhead 11 KV line supplying power to a private factory.
