Tree 20 -Axe On Aarey Trees

It was shocking to hear That MMRDA of Mumbai city Has taken a decision to cut down Two thousand seven hundred and two - I repeat - 2702 Trees of Aarey, situated In the cool, green forest belt of western suburbs. The Bombay Municipal Corporation Approved The cutting of the trees, Without a question, Without a murmur, Without a debate! This atrocious plan of Cutting trees to meet man's selfish ends, Injuring and poisoning the environment, Axing the trees carelessly and mercilessly, Without any sense or sensitivity towards nature Is so pathetic and disturbing! All this is being done To make way for a card shed for Metro, Another mode of transport for the public. Mumbai is already so crowded with vehicles that That there is hardly any space for a man to walk. Besides its fumes and gas that percolate around. By destroying city's natural holding ponds, The floods, every monsoon will be on the rise. The nature will kick back and destroy the city. In spite of protests and opposition from the citizens, If the orders are carried out to cut trees Then, as remarked by a famed scribe " they are out To engage in a state sponsored environmental vandalism."
