In Rivne region, in the town of Zdolbuniv, employees of Rivneoblenergo destroyed several hawthorn trees while crowning trees in the area of the power transmission line.
This caused strong indignation of local residents, because only the trunks remained of the trees, after all, the trees that were the "business card" of the city, the Zdolbuniv City Council reports on Facebook.
It is noted that trees were destroyed on Vasyl Zhuk and Hrushevsky streets.
In the message, it was emphasized that the community was warned about the work in advance. However, people did not know about their nature, because the cutting of branches and trees in the protection zone of the power transmission line does not require approval and permission documents.
The press service emphasized that the Zdolbuniv City Council sent a letter of complaint regarding excessive tree cutting to the Zdolbuniv branch of the Rivneoblenergo.
"The claims were recognized as motivated. Therefore, the energy experts promised to give the community a few saplings of hawthorn trees in the spring, which we will plant in designated places," the report said.
