Road Widening in Hyderabad!

I am happy to note that many roads in Hyderabad are being widened. However, I am deeply concerned about the number of trees felled in the city over the past one month.

The existing roads had plenty of trees on either side. Even if you consider an average of 5 trees for every hundred metres of road, GHMC must have rooted out hundreds of trees in the city.

I hope they come up with an ameliorative plantation drive after the road widening is completed. Otherwise, it is a loss for which we, the city dwellers, will pay a heavy price. Lack of sufficient greenery in the city will cause terrible imbalance to the ecosystem of the city.
It will be years before we can hope to bring back the balance.
