Hyderabad: As the city grows, the greenery goes. The green cover is fast depleting, making way for spacious roads and concrete structures. Some of the trees are as old as the Qutub Shahi. Saddened, eco-conscious citizens have taken it up with the chief secretary.
They feel that the trees, instead of being cut down, can be transplanted elsewhere as it is being done in Mumbai and Pune. Thanks to the citizens’ movement, the first tree census in the city will begin on a road connecting Rajendranagar and Himayatsagar.
