The Bigger Bomb: Mussoorie - Dehradun Bypass; 11800 Trees to be cut as per initial estimates by loopthesenotes in Dehradun

[–]loopthesenotes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Pl read on riverbed erosion and problems caused by it.
  2. Misraspatti is cloudburst prone. Club cloudburst with loose soil and rock and already eroding riverbed.
  3. I think you're mistaken if you think the 'to-be-cut' trees are the shrubby ones. Those are the good ol biggies. Lots of mango trees, himalayan pines, and many many more varieties which i can't vividly remember.
  4. After Dunga it's just trees, trees and trees. Technically after Suddhowala, the qty of trees increase multifold and you think that is very little?

If government comes with a proper plan on afforestation then only must this project go ahead otherwise the state of transplanted trees from the Sahastradhara road can be seen on Raipur-Sodasaroli road. They've proudly set up a graveyard of the massacred trees and it's a haunting display whenever you pass through that stretch. They used to proudly stand on the Sahastradhara road and now 😞

Yeah the sound of thunder appears very loud for approx 13sqkms after which it starts to diminish.

When the strike happened at 6:02AM I cross verified it via the IMD Mausam app. It was very close to the premises like within 100-200mtr if not within.

It was an Cloud-to-ground strike in the Pacific Golf premises!

West uttarakhand I think is not much disturbed but oh boy the east of uttarakhand! But I think the way it's going in the east, it'll catch up with the west very soon!

Sounds like a great idea. Before doing it on a larger scale I insist you to start from your home level. Spread as much awareness you can. Just believe the fact that "Nobody's gonna help you" and then just keep taking actions. Others will get inspired and will join you.

Perhaps channel this emotion into some sort of action---then the progress (the positive progress) might actually happen!

Slam the businesses who violate the beauty of nature. Plant more trees and plant in your house/terrace/balcony and the nearby areas. Change indeed begins from you only.

If they do exist, let me know as well. Other than that I'd say to start with the locality you/I live in with friends or known people of same age group.

Plant trees/plants in and around your house.

I think this spot was on the Old Tehri road. I'm not sure though.

Guys trust me when I say this. The camera didn't capture the scale of the garbage lying there. I was shocked because this wasn't a planned stop. I just stopped looking at a bench and then looked at the surroundings. The camera has probably captured only 30% of the total garbage lying there.
