environment I


few days ago my family & I went for a famous tourist spot in our country. it is a highland with few small towns.

the picture above shows a lake by the old main road. there are few outlets there selling fresh vegetables and fruits. there was a food outlet but it was closed. the lake is actually feeding an electrical power station. the lake was a major attraction then. few years ago I read about the lake was clogged with dirt. the culprit, the report said, was the extensive forest clearing to make way for commercial use. today the river is barricaded with construction hoarding. there is 'No Entry' sign. the view is blocked. the road in front of the picture is actually the path used by lorries that transporting dirt. may be they are digging out the dirt out of the lake. there is picturesque view no more. even some of the outlets are closing down including the only one which selling food. my plan to sip a hot fresh tea beside the lake was hold back.

thank to the development.
