The need of the hour is to plant as many saplings as you can around your house, sides of avenues, roadsides, parks and where ever possible to make a healthy climate around us.
Marching towards a hi-tech infrastructure of roads and buildings, the Govt. has initiated cutting trees alongside the NH roads. One such seriously affected is NH 209 which connects Gudalur in Nilgiris and Nagapattinam.
The trees alongside the road stretching from Gounder Mills towards Mettupalayam has already suffered life down, even the roots are also plucked with an earth moving machine which seems to be a monster for the past.
Those who take a regular trip to Mettupalayam will hereafter suffer a direct sunlight and thirst for a shade to cover.
Tough Going.
In future trees and shades has to be found only in hilly areas, for those in coimbatore, have to travel for 80 Km, probably to nilgiris to show the forthcoming generation to know whereabouts of trees.
Enriching the infrastructure is laudable. But at the cost of (?).
Ok. Past is past... Get ready to face the future.
I always remember.. "And miles to go..."
