The boy acted quickly on his wit and environmental awareness by complaining against a man who cut a forty-year old neem tree. He called up the Telangana Forest Department’s toll-free number and informed them of a tree being cut and it resulted in the man having to pay a fine of Rs 62,075. This took place in Saidabad, Hyderabad.
