The namma Bangalore debate

All the hullabaloo about the metro , cutting trees i think it can very well perpetuate into the next decade . The people who planned the metro would have definitely been more than welcome for suggestions during the planning than during the execution , i pray . As for the defiant protesters , we all know how badly our city needs the " Namma metro " . So i think we should all take progressive steps towards development . Besides , I think little of their signature campaigns , it won't even scratch the surface . What they could do , is start planting samplings in other area's where there won't be a metro . I believe by the time the metro is completed(Given our govt's record if completing projects) we can still have the same number of trees in Bangalore . Also the metro is aimed at bringing down pollution In the city. ( As a whole the carbon footprint will remain more or less the same , i guess) The metro as of now is aimed the garden city a little more greener . Try and supplement it .
