Once lush green, lining the bund road from the Salvador do Mundo church to the Char Manos, (sluice gates), today these mangroves have been done away with chemical spray.
The mangroves project a scary sight – parched, dried and uprooted. All this time, they protected the bund road from getting flooded in the monsoons, but now the road may soon come under water causing inconvenience to the passing by vehicular traffic, henceforth.
On the one hand, our government talks of protecting nature and environment, but forces in power work in the opposite direction giving scant attention to the laws of nature which will prove disastrous to our existence.
All but in the name of developments, without foresight and proper planning for the coexistence of nature and man, the scenic beauty of this village is slowly but steadily fast depleting. Please do something before it is too late.
