Bulldozers Can’t Build a Future
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir,
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.
