Bengaluru Greenary needs to breathe..

Bengaluru, 9th Dec 2006.

While the traffic situation becoming worse every day and the existing greenery fading away it is important to save the existing cover. Few green pockets of Cubbon park and Lalbagh is no more sufficient to digest the pollution released into air.

The avenue trees in every road needs to be protected. But it is doubtful if the existing ones (spared from axe..) would survive another decade. The reason being the hard pavement done around the trees. My common sense and little knowledge in biology tells me this is a detrimental to the trees. This practice will weaken the tree base and will be uprooted during heavy downpour.

The canopy in Margosa/Sampagie road (Malleshwaram) would be a thing of past in a few year from now. God! why not this fossil fuel around the globe disappear overnight :)
