It is really nice to hear a good news regarding shifting of bus stands for Balochistan travellers after this month. Even though the action is commendable by the city administration in the context of rehabilitation of environment, but there is another menace - cutting down of trees by the city government.
This administration should know very well that development cannot pay the loss of natural environment. Clean environment and natural beauty are the earnest desire and need of the smoky, and fuzzy city of Karachi. A comprehensive strategy for the betterment of environment, together with progress, should be a key component of the city administration. Otherwise, it would affect all the efforts, which have been made so far for the achievement of economic benefits. It is indispensable to grow more and more trees in and outside the city to make sure a healthy environment for the citizens.
