Everyone seems to in race and just competing each other. Nobody has time or tolerance to listen to other’s problem and intent resolve it. B. Secondly, while we are putting all efforts to develop world class infrastructure, the rate at which our natural assets - tress and forests are cutbothers me most. Everyone is experiencing its adverse effects like low rainfalls, increased pollution levels and decreased ground water levelswhich are ultimately affecting our lives. Unfortunately very few people have alertness and inclination towards taking corrective steps of preserving our natural assets.
