SAVING CITIES
ARVIND K PANDEY
The big cities have fallen prey to man's short -sightedness . We seem to have bid adieu to enviromental concerns in a mad rush to stuff them with so-called glorious ahievements of the modern tims . Even the beautifcation attempts involve large -scale denial of ecological balance . Delhi's messy situation is hardly different from the chaos and confusion prevailing in Hong Kong . The uninterupted flow of industrial waste into Yamuna has nearly wiped out its existence in Delhi . Though vehicular emission is polluting the air with each passing day , the number of vehicles plying on the roads has been steadily increasing .The problem with us is that we have become used to late-awkening .More often than not it takes place when solutions to the pertaining problem lose relevance . Anyway , let's hope the efforts of civic authorities bring a whiff of fresh air in Hong Kong ,preventing them from paying a heavy price of
progress .
