The tranquil community of Calcutta Village has been shaken by a deliberate act of destruction targeting its central Christmas tree during the early hours of December 30, 2025. According to eyewitness accounts, the meticulously decorated tree—adorned with ornaments contributed by local residents—stood intact at approximately 3:00 a.m. but was discovered demolished less than sixty minutes later.
Village Chairperson Alex Tzub expressed profound dismay at the incident, confirming that significant portions of the tree structure were fractured and numerous decorative elements were either shattered or forcibly dispersed across the vicinity. Despite the damage, Tzub affirmed the community’s determination to restore the display symbolizing seasonal unity.
This episode represents the latest within an escalating sequence of vandalism incidents troubling the village. Tzub highlighted preceding criminal activities including targeted attacks on vehicle windshields and glass doors near the community center, indicating a persistent pattern that has evaded resolution due to insufficient evidence or eyewitness testimony.
The village leadership is urgently appealing to residents for collaborative vigilance and information regarding these destabilizing acts. Tzub emphasized that such events tarnish the reputation of the entire community beyond its administrative bodies, stressing the necessity of collective action to identify perpetrators and prevent further occurrences in the traditionally peaceful locality.
