The big cities have fallen prey to the men’s short-sightedness. We seem to have bid adieu to environmental concerns in a mad rush to stuff them with so-called glorious achievements of the modern times. Even the beautification attempts involve the large -scale denial of ecological balance. Delhi’s messy situation is hardly different from the chaos and confusion prevailing in any other major city of the world.
The uninterrupted flow of industrial waste into Yamuna has nearly wiped out its existence in Delhi. Though vehicular emission is polluting the air with each passing day, the number of vehicles plying on the roads has been steadily increasing. The problem with us is that we have become used to late-awakening. More often than not it takes place when solutions to the pertaining problem lose relevance.
Anyway, let’s hope the efforts of civic authorities bring a whiff of fresh air in big and small cities, preventing them from paying a heavy price of price.
Have U been to New Delhi ?
Yes,all the time we are promoting cities leaving villages at the mercy of fate!!
However,we need to develop a civic sense to improve the situation.
Look at Mumbai.It’s the economic capital of India.However,during heavy rainfall,the whole city gets trapped in flood like situation because of the choked drains.
Thanks to you for your honest reply.Though your answer is not close to reality yet it has an element of truth!!
However,the essence of the article is that all the major cities are interested in having skyscrapers at the cost of greenery!!
