Old Banyan Tree - Chained for over 100 years 
There’s a Banyan Tree in Pakistan which has been locked-up and chained massively for the last 100 years. There’s a whole story behind the incident that leads the tree to be chained and never to be opened again. The work of the poor tree is to save humans from the hot shade of the sun, but this particular tree ended up creating problems for itself.
The incident goes all the way back to the British government’s tenure in Pakistan. The region where the tree is situated is LandiKotal Cantt, KPK (former FATA). The tree was specifically captured and chained in 1893 by a British Army Administrator named James Squid. It is said that under the influence of alcohol, General Squid thought that the tree was moving towards him — which was enough for him to take as a threat.
