(b) below the passage:
the following passage carefully and do as instructed in (a) and
Emperor Ashoka was one of the earliest Indian monarchs who
planted shady trees on roads and in public places The Moghuls, too,
realized the necessity of shade on the roads which they constructed. But
there was no conscious planning, and the peepal, banyan and Pakur
trees were indiscriminately mixed with neems tamarinds and Mahuas.
It was only in Kashmir that they showed some preference for planning
and planted magnificent avenues of chinar along the banks of the river
Jhelum, which can be seen at their best at Gandharbel and Matart on
the way to Pahalgam.
A plantation plan for our national, state and district highways is
urgently needed. At present our roads are planted by the P.W.D.
engineers who are ignorant of trees. Ultimately, the planting of new
trees and replacement of dead trees is left to gardeners alone who plant
any tree which comes handy. The result has been unfortunate and our
roadside avenues have become a mixture of odd trees.
