NEW DELHI: A
700-year-old Banyan tree was essentially brought back to life with the help of
a drip in Telangana. According to news agency ANI, one of its branches was
infected by termites. Desperate to save the tree, officials put up drips filled
with diluted pesticides to kill off the insects. The majestic tree, in the
state's Mahabubnagar district, spreads across three acres and is believed to be
the second biggest Banyan tree in the world.
A major tourist reaction, the tree is popularly referred to as "Pillalamarri" or "Peerla Marri" in Telangana. However, it has been shut to the public since last December, after one of its branches came crashing down due to the rampant termite infestation, reports Telangana Today.
