| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | I stayed in the locality from june 2009.That time for one year it was a very peaceful area.but as the greed of the people goes on increasing.People of that locality mainly consist of bank employees they get lesser house loan rates.They are building high storyed building by breaking and remodelling the old ones..all through out the day and night there are constructions forget about birds human beings also cant say in so much noise..one case i would like to note the residence side of our house in there the construction is going on since december 2010 and it doesnt seem to end..The natural habitants are destroyed as a result..No efforts are being made to plant trees or give space to natural habitant.The people are building houses on their boundaries leaving no space for greenery.
So appeal to all development is a good thing but one should also take care of nature and its habitants,lest they might not be there to take care of us ,destroying the ecosystem leads us humans to no where,living in harmony in nature is the best way to live life and spread happiness |
