                                               Dwindling Dells

Gone are the days when lambs and kids used to frisk and frolic down the verdant valleys. Gone are the days when the brooks and streams flowed down the slopes merrily! Where are the green meadows, pastures and terraced fields? Where is the pure blue sky with cotton-like cirrus flitting merrily high above?

The canker of industrialization have converted the once heaven like town of Hamirpur into hell. The sylvan beauty for which it was famous, has been replaced by factories and mills. The skyline that once was dominated by tall pines, is an ugly sight of stacks spewing toxic fumes!

The clear rills and brooks that were picnic spots, have been converted into drainage channels, carrying effluents to the river, which has become a bigger channel carrying the muck to the sea! The entire world is losing its beauty and purity. The mankind a silent witness to this ugly transformation, is waiting for some angel to come down and do the cleaning, preserving, and pollution managing!
