Sir,
The landslide that struck the Malin village in Pune in which a good number of people were killed, and the whole village was flattened is attributed to ruthless cutting of trees in the area. This careless approach towards nature adopted by us is bound to result in such tragedies. The last year Uttrakhand episode a great calamity is still fresh in our mind.
That tragedy was also attributed to tampering with nature. The greed for land, and mindless competition for building concrete jungles is making our ecology so fragile that it collapses easily.
Though many people are working for protection of nature, there number is very less, and their voice goes unheard in the cacophony for development.
Developing requisite infrastructure for welfare is quite necessary but development should not take place at the cost of nature.
A balanced approach between nature and development is needed to be adopted by people to move on. Mankind can survive only if the lives in harmony with nature.
Yours etc….
