The authorities are still continuing to fell the trees secretly at night and during holiday to avoid protest from the students.

Because of cutting trees indiscriminately, the green campus of the college has taken a desert look pushing its environment to destruction, the students alleged.

They said they are also very much worried as they have lost the shadow of their old trees.

Campus sources said the college authorities cut a 30-year-old Neem tree a month ago for making furniture of the official residence of the principal.

Earlier, several Shishu, Ipil Ipil, Neem and Jaam trees around a pond behind the administrative building were felled, the sources added.

On Sunday, the angry students tried to stop felling of an old Jaam tree on the campus.

Sources said the trees were sold at a throughway price and without floating any formal tender.

Moreover, the money received from the sale of trees in last September is yet to be deposited to college fund, they added.

As per rules the college authorities must obtain permission from the C&B authority before cutting government-owned trees, but no permission was taken in this case, said another sources.

Meanwhile, the general students of the college have called for immediate stopping of felling trees, plantation of new saplings and nourishing the existing old trees to keep its traditional beauty intact.

They also threatened to launch tougher agitation along with environmentalists and environmental lawyers association to stop tree felling, said a student Soumitra Majumder.

When asked Principal Shams-Ul Alam said the trees are being cut as per the recommendation of the academic council.
