Ecology

Read an interesting article today in TOI, Bangalore

1000 Cotton Silk trees in Tamilnadu have been cut, as they are water mongers, sucks the water out of eco system. This is like self help Euthanasia. Hopefully government would not kill that species of trees. They cannot talk dont they?

Similar to the above incident also read one article on mining and replanting (something like that). OK, you mine, so give back. How? Plant more trees. Nice work by Karnataka Government. Hats off BSY.

Related to this story, there are no bodies in Bangalore that govern the cutting of trees or replanting. I remember that in Chennai, I worked with many department, to uproot and replant about 250 trees on the Alwarpet to Guindy Road, which was about to be cut based on road widening.
