Blessed City

“The cutting down of the Chinar tree by the department is truly unfortunate. The Chinar is a symbol of our cultural and natural heritage, and removing such a historic tree should never be the first option. Our highways may look polished and well-designed, yet it still takes us hours to reach our destinations because of constant traffic halts and mismanagement by the authorities. So what difference does it really make if a Chinar is cut down in the name of development, when we continue to live in the same mess? Development should mean progress, not the loss of our heritage.”
