World's second largest banyan tree put on 'saline drip'
Forest officials at Telangana's Mahabubnagar district are using a treatment similar to putting "saline drips" to rejuvenate a 700-year-old banyan tree, reportedly the world's second largest. It was infested with termites and closed to the public last year when its parts started falling. Officials put bottles every two metre on the tree to inject it with chemicals to kill termites.
