Peepal tree falls at Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain, road blocked

Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): An ancient Peepal tree fell outside Maharshi Sandipani Ashram on Mangalnath Road in Ujjain, damaging the cars parked nearby. The tree was huge, and its branches were scattered all over the road, blocking the traffic.

A team of Municipal Corporations has started the work to clear the road. Traffic is expected to resume soon.

Earlier too, a similar incident was recorded here, when a huge tree fell. The devotees visiting the ashram had a narrow escape.

Experts said that the concrete road bars the rainwater from reaching the roots of the tree, weakening them. As a result, even the biggest trees fall.
