MAKERS OR BREAKERS

Guys, We all have heard "to get something we loose something"...So in the name of development we are again loosing the greenry and many trees in the capital...The Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) road widening project next to Lodhi Road has raised the hackles of the forest department for the deplorable state of trees on that stretch. With barely a few inches of mud being allowed to stand around the trees and many of them missing roots, its only a matter of time before some of them come crashing down...The road widening is part of a Rs 350 crore Commonwealth Games....And with this 50 trees will be damaged or cut.....
I know sometimes its necessary to cut down the trees for some projects but not always...Its our MCD's habit of just finding and moving on the easy way but not finding the alternate ways of the losses....As per the rule, cutting of one tree has to be compensated by planting 50 trees....And do we expect MCD planting 2500 trees in Delhi??
Not only this Guys, MCD even didnt grant the permission to cut the trees from Forest Department and the blame game has started....With this allegations on MCD,MCD say that they were in constant otuch with them and there demand was not formally rejected....
How smart our MCD is????Please authorities dnt play with nature in the name of development....Instead stress on sustainable development.....Because in the end its not our development but the environment who will help us to live a healthy life....And the common people should try and protest all these things because in the end we are the suffrers.....And, dnt forget people a small step can lead to big changes.......

Love and Regards
Minnie
