yes ro... it is heartbreaking to see a grown up tree chopped down...

sad dev....

hi ashu.. isn't it sad that progress and love for nature do not go together in today's India...
thanks for your comment...

this is true, very few trees in Indore have been transplanted ..Thanks to our beloved Mayor no serious efforts seem to be going around

Hi Usha... You are so right... technology has made advances and one can replant most trees... Decades (perhaps centuries) of growth are lost when a tree is chopped down...

DEV  ...It is sad. This is happening everywhere. And some contractor somewhere will make big money...in connivance with some politicians...while many of these trees could have been replanted ! Technology has made great strides and this is not anything tough !

Hi Melody.. It is difficult to build and easy to destroy.. isn't it? Considering the rate at which the population is growing and also considering India Shining it is but inevitable that the environment will be damaged... I wish the decision makers could get down seriously and minimise the damage caused... Where there is a will there is a way....

Yes the colours were what attracted me as I passed by. I just had to stop my scooter and take out the camera from the bag... 

thanks for the visit...
regards, Dev

Hi Dev
This is really sad. It takes so many decades of love and nurturing for a tree to grow but only a few hours to fell it. Many times I wonder, what cost progress . And the amount of paper we use - so many thousands of trees...Sad, really sad...


PS: The women are colourful. The way they were hugging the trees (though for entirely different reasons) reminded me of the Chipko movement
