| Trees inward Shogun's garden, Kyoto |
Look at these Japanese as well as run across how concerned they are almost trees. The officials of JICA (the Japanese International Cooperation Agency) who are going to hold upward inward Bhopal inward regard to the local Metro projection cause got enquired whether in that location are whatever trees standing on its proposed route. They cause got in all likelihood heard almost the opposition to the Bhopal Municipal Corporation’s proposal to chop the trees that are standing inward the expanse on which a smart metropolis is proposed to hold upward built. Hence the query.
Japanese accept neat help of their trees – whether inward parks or on roadsides or anywhere. I yell upward having seen during a fortnight’s rest inward Tokyo long dorsum inward 1982 how they would carefully ensure that the roadside trees branched off from a pre-determined height. They would twine the tree from its bottom upward to the desired tiptop amongst heavy-duty ropes to ensure branching off from a pre-determined height. So if 1 stood on the pavement as well as looked downwards the street 1 would observe all the roadside trees non alone branching off from the same height, they also ar to a greater extent than or less of the same height. Careful pruning from the function yesteryear ensures that. The ropes are removed 1 time the trees grow to their total height. Japanese aesthetics later all is good known.
In their gardens also they are really detail almost placement of beds, ponds, fountains as well as trees. These are constantly nurtured yesteryear care-givers. They cause got gardens for diverse purposes, such as, for meditation, for strolling or for conducting tea ceremonies. They have, therefore, converted gardening into an fine art wherein landscaping is an integral part. I cause got had the practiced fortune to larn approximately the garden inward Shogun’s palace inward Kyoto as well as cause got had occasion to run across how meticulously they keep gardens. Trees as well as gardens, quite obviously, are considered natural uppercase yesteryear them as well as hence they accept neat help of them
We, on the other hand, don’t help much for trees, gardens or parks, particularly those that are supposed to hold upward taken help of yesteryear world agencies. We are an ‘axe-happy’ lot as well as nosotros create non intend twice earlier hacking downwards a tree fifty-fifty if it is full-grown fruit or bloom bearing one. I am sure the Japanese who are visiting Bhopal would collapse inward a agree if they hap to run across some of our vacant spaces amongst some shrubbery approximately which nosotros telephone telephone world parks.
If they take heed that nosotros don’t intend much of chopping downwards equally many equally 4000 trees to build an utopian smart city, perhaps, they would outflow into the Upper Lake. Nowhere this sort of apathy for nature is witnessed equally inward this country. I yell upward having seen hundreds of trees felled as well as lying yesteryear the side of the highway from Nagpur to Jabalpur. The highway is getting ii to a greater extent than lanes 1 each on either side but I did non run across whatever pressure level of traffic needing four-laning of the highway sacrificing hundreds of tall well-built precious CP teak trees. But that is our agency as well as nosotros perhaps tin never change. It is all for the sake of “vikas” but no 1 knows whose “vikas” – certainly non of the people at large. Yet, it is sure enough for contractors, sundry officials as well as politicians.
The enquiry of the visiting Japanese needs to hold upward taken seriously yesteryear the BMC commissioner as well as Collector. It should Pb them as well as others involved inward the smart metropolis projection to appreciate that felling as well as so many trees for a civil structure which mayhap could hold upward done elsewhere without harming the surround volition hold upward an abominable human activeness as well as certainly volition non win respect for them.
