Uttarakhand's Green Cover at Risk: 3,000 Trees Targeted for Road Project

In a shocking move that threatens the ecological balance, authorities in Uttarakhand plan to chop down 3,000 trees for a road project. This decision has sparked outrage among environmental activists, who took to the streets dressed in black to observe 'Black Harela,' a festival that traditionally celebrates nature.

The protesters are raising crucial questions: How can the government justify such a significant loss of green cover? What measures are being taken to mitigate the environmental impact? And who will be held accountable for this drastic decision?

As reported by NDTV, the destruction of these trees not only endangers local wildlife but also undermines the community’s connection to its natural surroundings. Citizens demand transparency and accountability from their government, urging officials to reconsider this project in light of its potential harm to the environment and public health.
