It appears that someone has attached thousands of ribbons to several trees, which has resulted in significant issues for both residents and road users.

This has become a serious matter of vandalism, visual pollution, and driver distraction, especially during adverse weather conditions, as the ribbons move unpredictably, affecting driver behavior.Additionally these ribbons are creating a hugh distraction for road users and has caused several accidents , which poses a severe safety risk.

Additionally, there is a school nearby, and these ribbons are creating a blind spot, making it difficult to see children crossing the road, which poses a severe safety risk.

Residents have been complaining about this issue for a long time, and the ribbons have remained in place without action. We kindly request urgent removal of these ribbons to restore safety and visibility in the area.
