There are news reports from Karjat, in the Raigad district, that a Gujarat-based power company is cutting down trees rampantly in the area. In the present day, it is vital to plant as many trees as possible and nurture them to maintain the balance of the nature. At such a time, the cutting of trees rampantly in the name of development is highly condemnable. While development is necessary, it cannot be achieved by assaulting Nature. If such development, which is proceeding unfairly, is not halted in time, the people of the State will have to face dire consequences in the coming days. Nature will never forgive such a wrongful deed.
