Subject: Cities losing green belts due to urbanization
Sir:
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern over the problem of loss of greenery due to sprawling urbanization. The ever increasing urbanization due to increasing population cannot be stopped. The best option is construction of smart cities that are well planned and are installed with pollution treatment plants and are based on sustainable development principles must be the law. No unplanned human settlements should be allowed. Since the land is the limited factor in the entire world, and the mankind has already denuded billions of hectares of forests, apartment buildings should be constructed.
Delhi and NCR region witnessed the worst smog in November and December 2017. The pollution level had reached critical. The schools had to be closed for health safety reasons. Uncontrolled urbanization and lack of greenery in the cities are directly the cause of this deterioration of environment.
The people must give environment the top priority even while constructing any building, settlement, township, or city. The pristine green belt left sparsely must not be touched at all. These green spaces are the unique purifiers. So they must be maintained and preserved at any cost.
Through the medium of your esteemed newspaper I appeal to the Environment Ministries at the state and central levels to look into the matter and implement stricter laws to preserve greenery in the cities. Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Amitosh Sinah
Green and eco-friendly environment is important for a healthy life.
However, it is observed that owing to rampant felling of trees there is a shortage of town’s green.
Moreover, there is a shortage of parks and green belts in the city and that is quite bad for the health of the city, its people.
It is recommended to plant trees and ensure that the environment is healthy.
