Madhuri ji It was not diversion rather important interjunction. Chinar tree being huge deciduous tree loses its leaves in October-November. Locals gather these leaves into heaps, burn them under control (rather ground fire with only smoke and not flame coming out) so that these leaves are converted into flakes of charcoal. Locals use these in their Kangri, which may remain heated for up to two days with one filling of Chinar charcoal.
