Dear Editor,
I want to publish my view through columns of your leading newspaper in Kashmir on Supreme Court’s rebuke to Telangana State Government reminding it that forests are not obstacles to development, they are its foundation. Below mentioned are my views on the subject:-
SC’s Rebuke To Telengana: Bulldozers Can’t Build a Future
The Supreme Court’s rebuke to Telangana is a stark reminder that forests are not obstacles to development, they are its foundation. When states treat green cover as expendable, they betray not just nature, but future generations. True progress lies not in bulldozing ecosystems, but in integrating them. Development without ecology is like building a home without a roof vulnerable, unsustainable & blind. Every tree felled is a breath stolen. Country must ask: are we constructing prosperity, or excavating extinction? Let this be a warning to all states short-term gains must not uproot long-term survival.
